http://www.bkrider.com/bkrider/skuse...eria=C01001023 reasonable price on 49mm fork tubes. I have purchased these before and are of good quality. 26 inch is FXD length.
Tank lift is making the forks look even longer. In my opinion, it has got to go to balance out with a 16 inch front wheel.

I like a skinny on the front but the rest looks killer, its your bikes and your doing great work with it. I just happen to like a little different style.

I rode it today and it rides great!! alot smoother... it sags down alot in the front when riding as opposed to being parked on the sidestand... my buddy said that it may even be sitting lower in the front than in the back... remember, I have dropped the tubes down to stock height and this front tires overall height is about 1.5 inches shorter than my original 19 inch... so with the 2 degree raked tress and the shorter tire im way below stock already... with the sag I think i will need to drop the back further to reduce the height in the front...

It would be better on a Bob with the 29* rake than your 34* of rake.... Just sell em to me and I'll take em of your hands and put em on my Bob.... Actually I like it lowered, just that typically we think the old bobbed up WLA's and such having a fat tire and the longer raked choppers having a skinny tire... It was because with the longer chopper tubes of yore: the heavier wheel really messed up the handling... On a 49mm showa like yours, I doubt there's any worries...
