Well once the shock is in I guess I'll have a Hawkdasaki.


Can anyone confirm this spring isn't too heavy? I mean I weigh 225lbs without gear so probably not an issue but I'm just curious if it's really stiff.

No it is not. It is a great upgrade regardless of what you are reading on here. The only real issue you will have is that you will soon realize how crappy the front shocks are....

That realization has already been made, but I swapped in some 15 weight and added a bit more than stock level. I still need to set the sag with some spacers though.


I'll just stay low over the triples, scrub some speed

Shoot for 280ml of oil in each fork. We have done that with a Hawk DLX and Bashan Storm.

If memory serves I went with 290ml of 15w Fork oil. It's decent but I know my preload is wrong I just haven't taken the time to adjust it yet.
