Yes, I know I could convert to some name brand bike forks, and it's tempting, but for a hassle free conversion that requires no real work, it's a step up from the toothpick forks the Hawk comes with.

Anybody with a TT250 care to measure the forks at the triple clamps? If the match these then I may just pull the trigger on ordering some parts to do this.
If you are referring to the Chinese USD forks, I believe you might be correct. You need to determine if the triple tree from the TT250 will fit the Hawk. However, you would also need to convert to the TT250/Bashan front wheel, brake rotor, brake caliper, speedometer sending unit, et cetera.

What is the fork travel for the Hawk?
