Ultima 58mm inverted

Chopper Dawg · 03-13-2010, 02:19 PM

I am thinking about buying one of these 58mm Ultima front ends to put on my 2003 Big Dog Chopper with a rolling thunder frame. I am not great with rake and trail geometry.

They offer 10 and 12 over with 5 degree trees. I have searched and do not see a thread with my same bike.
Anyone a geometry whiz that can tell me what I need to make it ride right and look awesome?
I also plan to do run a single disk or a 360 brake setup.

Thanks in advance for the advice!

On an 03 chopper you have 10 over with 3 degree rake in the trees you can go to a 12 over with 5 degree rake in the trees,wont effect trail enough to notice and you can reuse the fork stop from your old trees screws are even same thread good front end for the money chrome is real cheep though, Midwest was wholesaling for 300 bucks not long ago I bought two and sold both guys complained about chrome.

The whole bad chrome thing makes me think twice. I don't know if I want to deal with that.
