Default Fat Bob fork lowering question

Forgive me if this is a repeat. I did a search and did not find anything.

My question is if anyone knows of a source for springs/tubes for lowering the 49mm Showa forks on the Fat Bob. My dealer parts guy can't seem to get the information he needs to tell me if the factory lowering spring kit will work on my bike. I think Works Performance offers a kit, but I can't be sure.

Anyway, I have raised my forks in my tree's 1.25 inches and really like the look......except the fork tubes hanging out the top of the tree. I would like to find a combo tubes and springs to do it right.

Thanks in advance!

Oh, and if your only reply to this post is "Why would you....." the answer is- Because it's my bike and I want it that way! [sm=smiley2.gif]
