Default front forks

I have a 2001 Road King that I am completely dismanteling. I would like to install new front forks, smaller diameter forks and a smaller wheel.

Any suggestions???

Thanks

Paul

The were wreched but you could say there were slightly well done from a garage fire.

I'm not sure what all I am replacing. Most of the burn damage seems to be cosmetic.

I will keep the forum updated.

Thanks
