If the Mikes valves have a firmer spring, then my adjustments might not translate to yours very well. The best thing you can do is start with their recommended base setting and adjusting from there.
Once you get them installed I know I would love to read about your experience with them.
If you haven't done so yet, then I highly recommend the fork brace mod done by Wamey. Link

The fork valves and brace combined is almost indescribable compared to a stock bike, and with the Mikes valves now being a possibility, then a massive upgrade to the front end of the Hawks can be done for less than 100 bucks, including fork oil.
