     Hey guys,

    I am starting a bit of a project on my 79 lowrider and am looking into springer front ends.  There are alot of options out there and i was wondering if anyone could offer any advice on them. Mainly want to know are there any dodgy brands out there to stay away from? Should i stick to the same length as the existing forks or go a bit taller to allow for extra travel on front wheel? Any advice for measuring it out so i buy the right springer.

    I won't be raking the bike at all either. Look forward to replies!

    From what I've been told, DNA are not much chop....Walka on here sells good ones at a great price. Vpw.com.au
    They are also a site sponsor. There are sensational ones done by American suspension...google them, awesome, lots of $$$$....check out vpw or give Walka a message.
