ordered one of these to replace the stock shock on the hawk. from what i was able to research its a good fit. ill report back after i get it and install it.
I almost ordered one of those shocks for my bike. Instead I ended up getting the 11" Fastace shock with 1000 lbs spring http://www.ebay.com/itm/401142561328

I loved the way the bike sat lower and how the suspension worked but unfortunately the Fastace shock has too much shaft travel and my rear tire was hitting the air box on bigger bumps. I ended up raising the shock mount on the swingarm by about 3/4". The suspension still works well but now I'm back to the rear end being a little too high. The improved suspension performance may also have a little bit to do with now having real swing arm bearings instead of the rubber bushings.
