I ride the blue one, my son rides the red one, but I do still 'technically' own it.

Single sided swingarm in 1988! Awsome!
But doesn't it seem as though the rim aero dynamics (curve)are backwards??

Dislectic!
The exposed frame was what first attracted it to me!
Did the stock muffler have a tendecy to scrap when touching your knee!

Nope, it was a shorty style muffler on the side opposite to where the Two Bros now resides and it had plenty of clearance. Both (used) Hawks came with the Two Bros exhausts -- they're a nice, full system that were very expensive back in the day. I used to own yet another Hawk many years ago with a stock muffler and it was barely audible, but the worst part about the stock system is that it really chokes the exhaust flow and creates a huge flat spot in the low and mid rpms, all due to emissions tuning I suppose. A Two Bros and a jet kit really wakes these bikes up.
I still have two full OEM Hawk exhaust systems in storage, both in perfect condition. Not sure why, but I feel the need to hang onto them. Maybe they'll be worth a fair amount when these bikes go from semi-collectible to full collectible status...
