What is the fork travel for the Hawk?
The tt250 tree will fit the Hawk. I know that without a doubt. Speedo sending unit as well since I have seen a TT250 with a hawk tach cluster. Front brakes are a close match if not identical except for the rotor shape. Axle diameter is the same but length may be different, but a tt250 front axle is 5 bucks lol. May also need the tt250 left side spacer, but that is even cheaper.

Not too sure on the Hawk suspension travel. I have never seen any published figures from any vendor or even RPS. I would estimate around 8 inches, give or take. Maybe a bit longer. I could deal with a little loss in travel if these forks are shorter, same with height. I was considering making it into a more road oriented bike anyway.
