Looking for info on inverted forks

[antvalentin]

Anyone have a good lead on a nice set of inverted forks for my 05 Ridgback? I also want to look into getting additional rake as well. Any feedback would be appreciated


:up:

Are you looking for new or used?

i have the ultima 58mm. way affordable. it comes 5 degree in the tree but longest is 12 over. if you add 2 degree to your ridgeback trees you'd need about 14 over forks to keep the frame oem level.

i went from 3 and 10 on my chopper to 5 and 12 and it raised the front of the frame about 5/8". not too noticeable and the trail is still good.

MC - I would prefer new but if something used came along that was in good shape, i would consider.

marv - thanks for the info... not to sounds like a jackass, I am guessing that "12 over" refers to 12" over stock harley forks? Do you know what I have now?

 

[MARV]

12

so I would need to add 2" to the forks with additional rake in the trees... Do you know anything about the P7 from American Suspension?

P7 Inverted "The Perfect Motorcycle Fork" from Bike Builders Bible - Custom Inverted Motorcycle Forks, Springer Motorcycle Forks, and Conventional Motorcycle Forks

thats what worked for me.

but you need to do the math before jumping into a new front end.

use a trail calc to be sure

Marv did you have any issues with installing the front end? I am looking at the same one not sure what else I will need for the install. thanks Mike
