Well, Dave made good on his word and the new adapter showed up about a week after he called me. It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, so I just now got the new adapter installed. It fit perfectly and had plenty of clearance for the socket. I'm definately a happy customer!

Darcane, that is really cool. It's really nice to know there are still companies with good customer service.

Looks like I've got another option available to me. This morning I recieved an unexpected call from Hawk Machine. He stated that he was unaware of the problem and that he only finds out about issues like this when customers report it to them. He graciously offered to build a prototype that should fit my R1 output shaft that would have sufficient clearance for a normal socket and send it to me free of charge.

I say the call was unexpected because I am so used to poor customer...

Yes 600 racing adapter for the F. J. will work on the r1 . For the hawk you can buy a spatial socket that is turned down. I think I got one from snap on. And we have had a cheap socket turn down to fit the hawk adapters

The adapters from 600 racing... anyone know how many splines and what diameter shaft? Those are intended for an FJ1200, but I haven't figured out if they have the same 30mm 13 spline shaft that the R1 has.

Thanks for the help. I'll look into a different adapter before I go any farther.

Hey Vaughn, I don't need one, I already have one! Reread my post, I was telling Darcane what I did.

Hey Tim: I have a heavy duty adaptor by EXTREME. It has a 17mm bolt and heavy washer and will not strip out like the HAWK. It is steel instead of aluminum. They sell new for $50.00 new plus shipping by it is yours for $40.00 shipped. Vaughn at starterman96@aol.com

I had the same problem until I got a driveshaft adaptor from Dwarf Car Company in AZ for around $50. It consists of the actual sprocket with a ring welded to it. The driveshaft bolts to this ring and there is PLENTY of room to get the socket in to tighten it. I ran it all last year with no problems whatsoever. I had heard horror stories about people tightening the nut with a chisel, etc. I'm not sure if Hawk is aware of the problem, I would think they'd fix it if they were.

I'm trying to install a Hawk driveshaft adapter on an '01 YZF R1. There is a recess on the adapter that the sprocket nut needs to fit in and the recess is only a few mm larger than the nut so there is no way I can get a 36mm socket on there. Before I go searching for a different nut that will work, I figured I would ask to see if someone else has any suggestions on where to find one. I'm sure I'm not the first to run into this.

Looks like I need to have the oil...
