Default I spy inverted forks.
Was just hanging out at Conely's Custom Cycles, looked over and saw these. The set there were for a 49mm forked Dyna. They are 51mm, with 6061 Aluminum trees, dual disc brakes and I think 6 piston brakes. He was saying that all you need is your rim and fender to swap over. I am pretty sure the price he said was around $1300. I thought it was pretty cool, figured I'd share.

Not sure what they were originally spec'd for, I didn't even think to ask. I told him the same thing about seeing the finished product. He said the set there were getting sent out to someone but he is going to make another set for his own bike. If he does that soon I'll add the pics on here. He was also saying that they would be coming in a few different color combos.

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to inverted forks, or is it purely cosmetic? I kinda like normal.

One of the advantages is that it makes the front end more rigid. Disadvantage is that it requires a bit more maintenance.
