I don't know if I could justifiy $1300 (10 days of pay) for tune-ability.

I am pretty fimilar with rake, and trail and have figured out how I want to do that, ideal a set of -3 degree triple trees to aviode cutting up the front end and still get to the 25 degrees I want, trail is still over 3 inchs so it should be fine.

Of the high dallor stuff, Howards materials seem to have it hands down over the the like priced guys.

I still have to ask; has anyone used Ultima Inverted forks?
I would certainly think there is a reason the ultima forks are inexpensive over other options. Adrian Vail's comments(different thread) on the difference between his progressives and Howard's shocks has got to ring true for an inverted front end as well.
