Does any BDM take a 12' over front end?

Yes my 05 Ridgeback runs a 12 over front end. Thats one of the differences from the chopper. The Chopper runs a 10 over.

The chopper has a 7"up and 3" out over "stock" frame and uses a 10" over "stock" front end to keep the trail where it should be. the K9 and Ridgeback use a 8" up and 4" out over "stock" frame and uses a 12" over "stock" front end to keep the trail where it should be. I hope that gave you the info you needed.

Alright, I just measured my front end on a 2005 Ridgeback. 44' from the top of the tripple tree to the axle bolt.

utlima 5 and 12 over

stock 3 and 10 over :down:
I've been looking at a K-9 set of take off forks (no trees) on ebay but didn't know if it would trough the rake/trail off too much. Did you need a few more degrees in the trees or is it close enough with the stock 03 chopper trees?

I replaced the trees with Pro One 7 degrees. The OEM trees were 4 degrees. I went with 12" over to balance things out. Believe it or not she rides a little better up to 85 mph over that she is a little wobbly. I usually never ride past 70mph anyways. See my pic's
