The Standard Hawk I can speak for. I weigh basically what you weigh, and I know how to make a standard Hawk work. The DLX, Brozz, TT250, and BMS all have USD forks, which to date nobody has delved into as I have with the spaghetti thin standard Hawk forks in order to figure out any sort of spring info in order to find something off the shelf from the aftermarket that might work, or even the basic length and diameter info to at least have custom springs made. I do know that, unlike the standard Hawk, which has stupidly long dual rate springs with a very high secondary rate, so just doing preload spacers works even for big guys, I have heard others state that the USD fork springs are a bit on the light side, so even with preload adjustments they don't work well for those on the heavy end, but I can't speak from any personal experience.
Out back most of the bikes are more or less the same non-link shock mount, with there being some variations in length, but otherwise utilizing similar spring weights, so at least in that aspect you would be covered.
