Go for it
Do you have a picture showing the side profile of your bike? I scrolled through your posts and saw the pictures of the 6” travel up front and that looks great. Didn’t see any showing the full bike.

here is what I am working with now.

You have about 5.5” of travel? I saw this measurement on another thread regarding the R dampers.

IDK, I have not measured it. The Roadster tubes raised the front roughly 1.5"-2.00" of height vs
the stock Iron tubes....

Hard to tell from the pics, but it appears that there are lowering blocks on the rear.
If so, consider removing them now or at least when you raise the front with damper tubes...
You will probably need a longer 'jiffy' stand as well.

yepp. 1” lowering blocks with 13” RK shocks.
I had to add some aluminum blocks to my stock Jiffy with the 180 rear tire conversion. Ordered a longer one but it was too long for that project. Figured it may come in handy!

Good thought on removing the lowering block when lifting the front.

That's my [older] bike in my old garage.

No I don't get 5.5" of travel because when the forks are compressed that 5.5" space doesn't go down to zero. HTH.

Great catch! I wasnt sure how else to denote that distance in the forks. Also, that was a nice looking bike!
