Default Superhawk Upgrades

Hey Guys,

I have been riding my Superhawk pretty much stock for some time now and would like to upgrade my exhaust and the front springs. I would really like to know what exhaust everyone has upgraded to and what you did with the weak front end that comes stock.

Thanks in advance for any assistance

There are two options for the front end. Respringing to your weight and Gold Valves from Racetech. Racetech has a calculator to tell you which springs to get. I've always found it to be spot on. The springs are the big gain. I'd make that your first mod.

There are big gains to be had from a quality rear shock as well.

IMHO, the Superhawk has the best sounding V-Twin ever made, bar none. My bike has 2Brothers carbon cans. They sound great but they're loud.
