    Hey guys. I am new to the Harley scene and am halfway through undertaking a Black Death replica build, the FXR out of the Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man movie. The question I have is, I have purchased some 41mm 30.25" fork tubes to suit the wide glide trees, do I need to order a different spring kit or will the factory kit suffice. Being an LV mechanic and from what I can determine from the factory manual, I would need a different internal kit to suit. Can anyone assist me with this please. Happy to post pics of the frame, tank if anyone is interested.

    stock spring will be fine , set it up so it has 19 to 25 m.m. pre  load on the top tube cap nut , use 30 w good brand fork oil.   i use & have in stock Bel-Ray,    30 w Bel-Ray fork oil is hard to find

    dadddyracer56, cheers heaps for the response. This was the only thing holding me up, you're a lifesaver. I'll shoot you a PM in the coming days and get u to supply some Bel Ray fork oil. I am in NW WA, this isnt going to be an issue is it? Cheers again
