Default Ordered up some new chrome.... (UPDATED 10-18)




3 degrees rake, wide glide, smooth upper tree, hidden axle, +2 over tubes.

Now I need you guys to help me decide on wheels. I am thinking laced still maybe some 60 or 80 spoke twisted. Just can't decide if I want to go bobber style and run same size medium (like a 160) width tires front and back, or go big (like a 180x18 or x16) in back with skinny & tall (120x21) in front.

I don't care for spokes, but the wide tires and the 21" front would be cool

There are threads in the unhappy experiences section regarding Demon's, I hope you get your stuff.
Since you already ordered from them I would suggest you dont go look at that thread.

I love brake/pulleys. I'm sure it's a good penny so I won't even go looking at the price.

although i am a HUGE spoke fan... i dont think that would be right for your bike... if you do go spokes, go 80... run a fat 180 rear and 130 front, on a 21 would be sick! man those forks a the raw busn!

Well, I picked the forks up on ebay and paid with paypal. So at least there is some measure of protection through those places. They have 98% positive feedback there, ans the three or four emails I sent through ebay's message system to Demon were answered with a half hour each time.Here's to crossed fingers LOLI am not sold on the spokes either, but can't find a billet wheel I am confident enough about to spend $1300+Still thinking bright red paint this winter... with that in mind, and an overall hot rod theme... what would you guys suggest?

not sure how your going to like th brake set up... from my exp with them, and sprocket rotors as well they just do not have the stoping power. more for looks than anything... not trying to shoot you down just wanted to give you a bit of feed back from someone that has used and worked on them before
