Might be better to get a set of inverted forks from Ohlins special order like they did for the SSR Breakout (google it if you have not seen it), or a set of Ceriani's, or a set of Mean Street forks. Any of these three would be superior in performance and sleeker looking than the HD setup. Here's a related thread: http://www.clubchopper.com/forums/al...ront-ends.html
Another possible issue is I have a non-abs Breakout. Sometimes that makes things easier...sometimes not.

HD has a stock inverted fork that you should be able to use on your BO. Might even be easier without ABS and your current single front brake. I always look out at those forks but **** ain't cheap.
