Well, I got it on, now if I could only figure out a way to make fork stops without having to grind the lower section of the fork lock off.

 

I did the external fork stops... The internals were about 75.00 but by that time I was tapped out and running out of time (wanted to ride)... I used stainless steel bolts with a hex button head placed them in a chrome sleeve and bolted them up to the tree...

 

I think thay look great, Thay do ride a little better, There is a big diffrent in the way thay are made, You now the old saying,you get what you pay for.

 

The right side is tough, the lower part of the steering lock hits the bolt head and the stop needs to be at least .75" hi in order to hit the frame and not go under it. I am playing around with a swing arm bushing from a truck and button head screw.

BTW Joe, thanks for the wheel info in the other post, the one I ordered should arrive next Friday.

 

i love my marzocchi/hd inverted front end. With the 18x4.25 tire and the PM 6piston caliper mine stops great and the handling is incredible

 

I will say NICE BIKE! Also I have no issues with Ultima frontend. My dad purchased one and he has had it for 4 years and no issues. I can also say that my dad is not easy on his bike .

I am looking at buying this frontend for my 2009 Dyna FXDC. I am running 11" shocks and a 180 x 17 rear wheel. I wanted to know what the spec's on your frontend are. Is this a 5 degree stock length or is it another rake and or length?

Also What is the rake of yoour frame stock? The 2009 Dyna rake I think is 30 or 31. So trying to determine if the front end on mine would look as bad *** as yours

Let me know and again Nice Bike!

 

Found an easy fix on the fork stops, sorta like Joe mentioned. I took the grinder to the bottom of the key section on the fork lock, used a 1.75 button head allen and a standard poly bushing from a truck's sway-bar, this way the poly (rubber) hits the neck frame and does not scratch.

 

Does anybody really change there fork oil?? I will change it when the seals blow. Every 5k..... I dont think so!!!

You're kidding, right? I agree that every 5,000 miles is excessive (hell, every 10,000 probably is too), but more than 20,000 miles and your fluid is shot.
