Inverted Front End
Looking to put an Inverted Front End on the Street Bob this winter, Hoping to find one with a mix of black and chrome. But I know how important a good front end is, I don't want to get screwed, so if you guys could post pics and recommendations that would be great!

If you are considering a new fork, what are your reasons?
- If you are doing it for looks only there are some very inexpensive e-Bay complete units out there. They are chrome, large, heavy and offer no riding improvement except looks.
- If you are looking for ride improvement than you must do your homework more than asking for opinions here.
- It is the internals that are important and not the color.
- It is adjustable ie: compression, rebound, and spring pre-load?
- How large are the cartridges.
- How does it work ie: bushings encapsulated into the slider and the fork tube slides in them or does the bottom of the slider have a bushing and the top (inner) bushing is encapsulated on the fork tube and slides onto the aluminum slider?
- What kind of calipers will fit? What type of caliper mounting system on the axle clamps does it have: ie: radial or side mount?
- Is it easily rebuild-able and can you get parts from the vendor?
- Is it the right length?
