Title: Extended forks
Post by marekbuk on 08/03/16 at 10:41:59

I'm considering fitting extended forks to my bobber using a rake kit from Chopper Supply
Has anyone fitted this kit?
Tried searching the forum with no luck

The forks aren't exactly rigid now. I wouldn't expect longer to be very helpful with steering and feel.
I have been here long enough to remember that at least one,maybe more, have done forks and I don't remember them being unhappy with the outcome, but I don't know if they used larger diameter tubes..

I followed Greg's lead and installed +4" forks from Frank's Forks. They give a nice stance-
