Bought this last year, Rare 1 owner 1989 Honda Hawk, was stood in a warehouse for 10 years in storage when the guy from callfornia imported it when he moved then forgot about it  only problem was it still has the 1995 fuel in it, which was decidedly unfuel like now 
this was it, in an non running state, with the frame polished, last year
Sorting out the fuel problem led to the the carb then overran to the engine being rebuilt, which took up alot of time, at the same time some of the restrictive US emmsions system was removed
added so far has been a CBR600 front wheel, powdercoated, then handpolished and a Tokico 6 pot caliper and custom polished bracket, the caliper also beeing powdercoated and rebuilt (sure lee m will vouch that these wernt in the best of health when he got them  )
(also some custom braided brake line, but not in that pic)
Also a VFR750 rear wheel, doesnt look veery special, but it used to be 4 stud, and no obviously now just the 1 
also finished this today, hand polished swingarm, uber bling, and shitloads of work
