45* will be perfect for a woods chopper..

any input on fork angle???? hawks are pretty steep!
does the cat with the diamond drive have the motor in backwards?carbs in front? that pic goodspeed posted comes up about 1/2" x 1/2" so i cant really see it that good.i assume its a cat with exhaust over the head....
As you may know Roo, Most DH bike's head angle are around 64.5 to 67.5 degrees. XC bikes are around 71,72. Most Motocross are around 60 degrees (30 degree rake)
I wish I had access to my hawk to measure it up but I think the Hawk would be around 70degrees.
Personnally I could ride a slacker head angle on my Hawk, it would probably handle better going downhill. And just by writing this, I just realized that I have the same fear on an XC bike going downhill as on my hawk (not to mention that the baddest time I went over the bars was on my hawk when I trenched a channel with my forks&ski landing from a jump...) Since too slack of a head angle will suck going uphill and since you will want the concept machine to rock in any situation, I'd go with something around 64-65.
Any photos yet ?!?!
Talked to a guy at the expo this weekend that has built 2 snowbikes with full size tracks. One was a big block motor cut in half. single cyl.100 hp.CVT.. sounds familiar.. very interesting and full of good info...
they are out there, with their secret machines, might be more than we think. super top secret one ski machines!!!!!!!
