Where can I find forks to rake out the front of my Honda cruiser?

Question

Anyone know of a website that I can use to find longer forks for my Honda? What does it mean when people say they went so many inches over manufacturer with the forks? I understand the degrees part.

Answer 1

This is a project that is way over your head.
You have to change the rake and trail of your bike.
Since your bike is a Honda, you are screwed, unless you plan on making a cool chopper.
Find a local chopper shop and check around.
Don't let them know you have a Honda.
You can expect to pay around 500 to 800 bucks to get the frame cut and neck replaced.
Again, this project is too complicated for most Honda riders.

Answer 2

... but Harley riders, being devoid of mechanical ability, aptitude and knowledge (hence their choice of MC), are all over any project where the objective is to reduce the capability of the bike.

'Over' means the additional length of the forks compared to standard. This will mean a fork inner tube (the shiny bit) with this much extra length. You will, indeed, need a part suitable for a Honda (because it has to be the same, just longer). For changing the fork angle, it's the angle of the steering head on the frame that has to be changed.

Suspension is thee to make the wheel go up and down. Raking out the forks makes the wheel want to go backwards and forwards. More weight is on the steering head bearings. Longer wheelbase slows the steering. And all that extra fork tube length bends under braking. A mechanical abomination all round.

This is why choppers are slow handbags, fit only for girls attracted to shiny things, and why people who build them have lots in common with (usually gay) fashion designers but nothing in common with engineers.

Custom made forks -

You'll also need custom made brake lines and a speedo cable.
