Okay, my curiosity is piqued. Whatcha building? I was going to stretch the forks on "The Basketcase" using a +4" fork tube set (even if I have to lower them again to make the stance right). There doesn't seem to be a "used" market, so new would be the only way to go. Unfortunately, sometimes "less expensive" is not an option. I found that out looking for some of the "cool" stuff. Cool ain't cheap either...

Wow! Your degree of rake is really gonna hang it out there! Just be careful you maintain an adequate amount of "trail" with it, or your ability to steer easily is going to suffer. I was going to go "a little" over, without changing the factory rake. By doing so, the bike will have a slight "uphill" look to it, and perceived rake and trail will change, but only a minute amount. Geometry is a tough subject (and I almost flunked geometry!). Good luck, and keep us updated! This is the right time of year to spend in the "laboratory"!
