Thats right folks, just got these finished out for ya'll. Get that "Just Right" stance on your street tracker, cafe, bobber, or chopper! 35MM forks ONLY (for now)

So just trying to budget this all out. I have an '82 and would like to send you my front forks to lower them as much as possible. What kind of cost are we talking about? And what kind of turn around time? I am only interested in the lowering, and maybe the shaving but not the polishing. Not into the shiny stuff. I appreciate it.
Regards

So in the directions it says to trim off some of the spring... Im looking at the 1in drop, wondering if I can not trim any to get a little/lot stiffer ride?
 
I am no longer stocking the 34mm Fork Spacers, but we have plenty of 2" & 3" drop spacers available for 35MM forks. A new design means you no longer have to know if you have "early" or "late" as well, so its that much easier to order. :thumbsup:

On the closeup of the early forks...what kind of fork seals are those? They look better than most I've seen. Do they work well?
