Default fork extension help

Im sorry if i posted this in the wrong forum or the wrong place, I'm very new to forums. Im wondering if anyone has an instructional video on how to add 4 over ( or 6) for extensions to their bike, i have a 2001 sportster 1200 and I'm fairly confident on how to do the fork extension, but i have never done it so an instructional video/ photos/ how to forum, would be awsome.

Forking by Frank is where you want to check.

And youtube is littered with vids on how to remove and replace the fork tubes. It's not a difficult job.

agree with this 100% Best forks on the market, and can make odd size lengths, too

I'm running 2" ones up front but I definitely wouldn't go any higher than that, and I plan on replacing with actual longer tubes when the front end is due for a rebuild.

thanks for the forks by frank, will defiantly get one from them, now I’m trying to decide to go with 4” over or 6” over. I wanna keep the stock rake because I like the height of the bike. Is the 4 to little where you can’t really tell the difference? Will the 6 mess with the stearring too much? Anyone have photos of the 4 or the 6 with the stock rake? Thanks
