Anyone running plus 4s or plus 6 fork tubes? trying to decide which length to go with. I was pretty dead set on plus 4's but now i'm considering the 6's possibly. Thoughts, pictures, experience? Thanks.

 Due to the Savage's 35 degree neck angle anything over 4 " may cause flex in the tubes themselves , as the tubes become longer the neck angle increases.

I went with 3 over tubes for a few reasons.  
1.  modding something for the kickstand is impractical and after using wood blocks to adjust for height I decided that 3" more height was the tallest I could go without the bike leaning too far over on the stand.
2.  My bike is an 08 model and the brake line is just long enough to fit when I changed to the shortest risers I could find that would still allow the stock bars to clear the tank.

Franks forks.  It was cheaper to call him and order direct than it was to go through some of the websites that order from him and then mark up.

It all depends on your goals....and wants from your motorcycle.

For better handling....lower the front 2", raise the back 2".

For "badass" looks......longer forks!

 Yetimeister 's problem stems from the (opinion) poor design of the VV hardtail he used  which forces you to seek a larger rear wheel and extend the forks to obtain workable ground clearance .

I haven't noticed any significant differences in handling with my 3" over forks.  I have noticed a significant increase in my comfort level.  it raises the front of the bike just enough that my seat position is much improved for both my legs and my back.  I'm 6'1" with 35" inseam.  I was a little cautious with it at first, but there really wasn't a need.  I take corners comfortably at the same speeds I always have.  Not Crazy fast, but not slow for conditions either.  
When I go faster than 60 I do notice a little more wind resistance.  I could always put the windshield back on, but ducking down a little closer to the bike works too.

+4's from Franks - excellent handling and smile factor
