Default Inverted fork lowering kit availability???
I invested in the HD inverted forks for my Train. I searched and found one mention of a lower kit for the Marzocchi forks but I can't find anything available. Curious if anyone has heard of a lowering kit available or any fabrication ideas. Thanks

I know there's a guy on here who has the Marzocchi front end. It's NICE and beefy. The HD one is basically the FX front end but upside down.

You could use shorter fork tubes or raked cups.

Marzocchi made the inverted fork HD sells.

I'd like to know if it's possible to lower it as well.
