Hawk forks on Magician

zendick · 06-27-2018, 09:48 PM

Does anyone know if the hawk forks will fit?

Saving that can someone measure the distance between centers on thier hawk forks and the fork diameter?

Basically I want to swap the magician to the hawk front end, brake, wheel, speedo(I really want the hawk cluster as well)

Thanks guys

Hawk fork tube diameter is 31mm. I will measure the length of the forks and distance between the forks when I get home.

all that will matter is the diameter so it goes in the trees.

These are not super precise, so take this as a plus or minus margin of error of a mm or two/1/16th in.. Should be accurate enough for you to compare though

Width between axle tabs/mounts on the inside of the forks - distance between wheel spacer outer edge and speedo sensor outer edge = 4 11/16ths or 119mm.
Width.between fork center to fork center: 6 7/16ths or 135mm
Total fork length from top cap to axle bolt center 32 1/4" or 819mm

Awesome thanks Dan,

Tim, the dims matter if I want to run stock hawk complete front end including wheel assembly and speedo.

Seems the hawk forks are only about 1" longer and <1/4" closer together hmm I should be able to turn a new wheel bearing spacer for the one side and a washer for the other to make up the width diff.

Can you take out any spacers in the front shocks to lower the front? 2-3" height gain on the front I might be able to mitigate a bit if there are removable spacers. I know you can add pre-load spacer.

I'll relace my rear to a hawk size rim I think as well, has anyone source aluminum rims for the hawk?

The Hawk forks are a standard damping rod fork, so the only way to make them shorter is to run a shorter inner tube/stanchion.

Being only 1 inch longer, I would simply run them up in the clamps an inch higher through the trees. There are people with Hawks that do the same thing to lower the bike.

As far as the width difference. I am assuming this is for running the forks with the Magician trees?
