I have a '68 Lightning
.
Spent about $1200. at a shop couple years ago to get it running perfectly....
It has not been run since.....
I had a short bobbed rear fender like this with a cobra seat on my 67 and for bars I was running a set of Z bars, and a 6-inch Bates headlight & bracket up front.

Bought a 53K Harley for $275 in 1966. This was the predecessor to the Sportster that came out in 1957. Blew the engine the second year I had it. Back then all you saw on the road were grubby Harley dudes or Honda's.

Very, very nice, you've set this up real nice. I bought and old 1965 red frame Hawk quite a few years ago, the motor was froze then and it remains frozen I never did anything with it, it still sits in the barn. Have you ever been to one of the vintage Japanese bike show/swap meet out near Harrisburg Pennsylvania at the White Rose motorcycle club? Not a real large swap meet but some good stuff there, and it's a pretty good time, you and can camp there too, and it's in a real nice setting too.

Thanks, Mark. You can see the whole build on the Honda 305 Forum. Go to "250 and 305 Motors", then page 7, 8th thread down. It's called "engine build- slowly but surely". Lots of pics. I put a Honda CX 500 front end on this bike. Also page 11, 7th thread down is a thread where I cannibalized 3 cranks to build one good one. I had to press the cranks apart, .002" interference press - took every thing my 20 ton press had! Had to build alignment tools to do the job. Thread is called "Dream crank becomes SuperHawk crank". A Honda Dream used a 360 deg. crank, whereas the SuperHawk used a 180 deg. crank.

I didn't know that Dick. I assumed the Hawk and the Dream used the 360 crank, the motors sounded the same to me. I'll have to check the 305 Honda forum out. You should have brought your crank over, my Dake 50 ton press wouldn't have had too much trouble with it.

I remember hill climbers that
Ran the dream crank in a superhawk engine with the cam twisted for 720 degree firing making a twinkle. Better traction on dirt?
