I imagine that you guys that have been building zukis for years are all well aware of this but... Hawk rocks! I needed an instrument cluster for my 96 kick and as luck would have it they aren't interchangeable out of any other model not even a 96 Tracker according to the interchange books.
So after several unsuccessful trips to the local wrecking yards I called Hawk. A guy named William answers. Friendly, knowlegeable and helpful. They had two in stock. He gave me a good deal on it and I ordered it. A week later it shows up. The packing was great; I used to work shipping/recieving so I'm a stickler on this one. The part was in great shape. Plugged it in and it works perfectly. Not so much as a burned out bulb.
So for the first time since I bought my kick I can tell how many RPMs I'm turning as well as having a working temp gauge. And as a bonus the miles on the odometer were within 6000 of what mine has so no big deal there either.
So if any of you noobs (like myself) out there are having problems finding parts locally, give them a call. And in case you are so new that you don't know who I'm talking about, check out the link on the zukiworld home page for Hawk Strictly Suzuki.
