Here's a link to an old post about it, there's still a few out there that make them for the hawk. Not sure if it's mentioned in here or not but Wilbur's is another one.

I went with Penske. the shock is the basic 8991 which is upgradeable if the need comes up. Also it can be changed to fit other bikes so you just send it back and pay for the changeover.
Not a bad way to go. Why by outside the US if you get great support here.
Cost about $800.00.

My Wilbers is model 641 and the price is $798.
Not cheap but it came with High and Low speed compression damping adjustment with 22 clicks, maybe feel better on the racetrack.
Ohlins is cheaper and more famous but doesn't have seperately high and low speed compression damping adjustment.

3D02,
The Hagons look interesting (and less expensive). What type do you have, where are you riding, and how does it work?

I did this.
Cost me something like $200.
Is it better than stock? for sure.
Is it $200 better? I don't think so.

I read an article in a UK magazine (BIKE?) on a whether the SH was a good used bike and the one they found had a Hagon shock - they said it's a decent upgrade but I got the impression it falls short of Penske or Ohlins. And the dollar is so weak against the British Pound now, I doubt the price is worth it. I'm still running stock too and can't find anything worth while - she's starting to feel like a 69 Cadillac on a country farm road....let me know if you find something cheap & cheerful.
