I have a 2008 Softail Custom and want to change the front forks. My first thought was to go with the black HD inverted fork but on looking at various pics of it, it doesn't make that much of a change to the look of the bike. I then looked at the SJP F-Line 250 forks and they look much more aggressive.

There is about a grand difference in price between the two and I am wondering if I should wait a little longer and get the SJP forks.

Can anyone tell me if they have had any experience with either of these front ends...is the SJP superior...would I notice the difference between them...???

Any help and advice would be most gratefully appreciated.

Regards

 

Never heard of the SJP F-Line 250 but I travel in different circles. The inverted HD forks require old caliper mountings and are made by Marzocci that is based in Italy and mostly made in China. You can find them in the $500 _ $800 range on e-Bay and cost around $1,200 from HD.
