40 deg. Rake, how long/what kind of forks should I get?

[projectxs650]

Got a frame and now its time to put a front end on it. Its got a 40 degree rake, any idea what kind of forks I need? I'm looking for something that won't be too much hassle to bolt on.

I would assume stock forks should be fine. Mine has a 38d rake and stock was perfect. I just changed to a Springer so I don't know about that one yet

Hi, You can use the stock forks with that rake and if you use tall tires the better for ground clearence. I raked this frame to 42deg with stock forks and I use Firestone replica tires on a lot of my builds (make that all of them that are chopper/bobbers) Good luck with your build.
