    The mirrors were a last minute decision. I was looking around the shop for options and those were off the black Hawk. They are rather heavy as bar end mirrors but when I mounted them to the mirror mounts, I was like, "huh. I don't hate it. I rather like it." And like I said, a surprisingly real good view behind me.

    I might steal the original from the Duc and put them on the Hawk. My current mirrors are too small. Can't see anything. Looks good dude!

    Lovely. I wish that those side covers were "available."

    Excellent work, bike looks perfect! Had similar mirrors made by Napoleon (JP) on my CB-1 back in mid 90's. They fit the bike well. Look forward to hearing it roar!

    Stopped on the way home from work to shoot a rev clip. Still not even close to redline.



    Sounds way better in person.

    They're surely fun with some mods. I'm on #7!

    Moved the headlight down and out a bit so a cowl could clear the gages and be at the correct angle.

    Thanks! Just rubbing on some old shit in my garage to show it off to my friends at my next garage tour. I saved my original headlight bolts, hoping that down the road maybe somebody would come along and pay a premium when they are no longer available. /s

    Just a gorgeous evening after work, outside of Carnation in the Snoqualmie River Valley.

    The camera does not do this spot justice. In person, the Cascade Mountains are right there.
