I have an 03 Pitt, to which I added 2 1/2" or 3" (I forget) forks by Frank extended fork tubes. Just measured my bike and between the top of the lower legs to the bottom of the lower tree is 8 3/4" Your bike appears to have longer fork tubes AND more rake. IMO looks Great...Also your lower legs appear to be longer than mine, as the top of my lower legs are about even with the top of my front fender. With mine you really can't tell much of a difference unless I was parked along side of another 03 Pitt. Always felt like I should have gone with a four inch extention.

just a heads up, with the forks changed comes more angle for the oil tank. this could cause the oil to flow more to the back of the bike when accelerating which cause the oil pump to loose its prime. apparently this has not happened, which is a great thing. just file the info away for future reference.
Hardtails the oil tank is on the bottom and the suction line is in the back right rear of the oil tank. Raising the front end won't impact it, actually the problem with the hardtails is quick stops the oil runs to the front of the tank.

Chris. As far as I know, the handle bars are stock 03 BDM Pitt Bull. Mine have the optional tach mount. They are once piece pull back riser/drag bar type, best description I can think of.
