I own a Bros and have noticed that Hawk GT fork seals are a quater of the price (literally) and pretty much everything else for the Hawk GT is much cheaper and more readily available.

Yet acccording to many sites the Hawk GT and Bros are mechanically identical with the only exceptions being different gear ratios, clip ons and cylinder size??

I even noticed that on one site a part fot the Bros was loads more expensive than the same part for the Hawk, yet on closer inspection they had THE SAME PART NUMBER?!?!

The seals would be the same but there are 3 different bros forks for the
400 and 2 for the 650.So you need to know which one you have in order to know how much oil to put in.

Hawk GT and BROS are the same bike. Called hawk GT in USA and BROS here in UK and I think maybe even Japan... they didn't realise it was the name of a ghey boy band...


Fantastic bike though...

Thanks for the replys, wonder why there's such a price difference with all the other parts too?
