>Some questions being asked, can be answered in "Sport Rider" article
>"Franklin's Mint" by Kent Kunitsugu. feb 94, p.48. I tried some of the mods on
>the street first then at Loudon. They work. Bracket racing against "Franklin's
>Mint" at New Hampshire dragway proved it. While my 88 TBR piped and jetted Hawk
>paced Franklin for 1000 feet, the "Mint" blew past me to the traps like I hit
>reverse! Several runs had the same result, including one in which we swapped
>bikes. Answer: do what Franklin does, period... problems with hesitation seem
>to be asked often, I never experienced it with my stock Hawk until my new pipe
>and jet kit went on.Local Honda wrench/ race motor builder expained why: he
>said I improperly routed the float bowl vent hose when putting the tank and
>carbs back on. They should face to the rear of the bike. Bingo! Instant Ducati
>slayer! Big bang for smallest buck: stainless brake lines, copper washers,and
>spiral wrap, front brake lever from f-2, brake pads (Forodo), front progressive
>springs and P.J. 15 weight oil, f-2 fork caps (spacer length critical!), 83
>VF-750 mirrors, they are bolt-on, black in color, and a better configuation (
>so
>you can see past your elbows).. Bigger bang, bigger buck Fox shock,
>transforms ride. tbr pipe and jet kit. Tires: Dunlop k591-r (street legal)
>110/80-17 front, 170/60-17 rear. Don't mix radial and bias ply tires, it's like
>trying to do a ballet with one foot in a toe-shoe and the other in a
>construction boot!

>Question to you: Does anyone make a single seat cowl?
