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

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?

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?

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
