So my old Hawk GT's Two Brothers Racing fairing kit came with genuine Honda RC30 mirrors. These were "OK" but kinda chunky and clunky, so I swapped them for some smaller aftermarket mirrors. Problem was, when I got the new Hawk, I couldn't remember who made the old bike's mirrors.
HawkGTForum.com to the rescue, as always, as a user identified the mirrors from a picture of my old bike. They are "F1" short-stem (40mm) mirrors from Bike-It. I ordered a pair from the UK on eBay.
They look good eh? Single-bolt so they are super easy to fit and stay very steady while the bike is in motion. Can't ask more than that of a mirror. So with those fitted I could actually put a temp tag on the machine and ride around a bit, bearing in mind the extreme old age of the tires...
Anyway, here's a few more shots of the machine...
Next up I have to replace those ancient tires and refinish the wheels...
