Hawk front forks
I finally got around to looking at the forks on the hawk. It's been a weak spot from the beginning.
I know nothing about forks but I lifted it from the handle bars and pulled the caps finding spacers about 1.5 inches. Placed a 17mm short socket on top of each spacer and replaced the caps. It's the biggest improvement I've made to the bike since jets and sprockets.

I have done a lot of work with and posted a lot of information on the forks. From larger preload spacers like what you just did to set rider sag to YSS Fork valves. The Fork valves are by far the best single upgrade I have ever done to the suspension and a fork brace being the other. The valves aren't really necessary but the fork brace is worth a look.

Minimum volume is 165ml. I run around 200ml in my forks.
