Default Hardtail

I am in the process of building a kraf tech hardtail bobber and cant decide what forks to go with i like the looks of a springer and also 41mm fatbob forks what will give the best ride and handling. thanks

You threw "ride" out the window when you went with a hardtail...handling will be slightly better with the hydraulic forks, mainly because of the weight.

Springers rule! It doesn't matter what suspension you have. After you've put on some serious miles, you will be adjusted to it. I can do figure 8's @ 1 mile per hr with my springer. My friends just watch and shake their heads. Every time I park in public, I come out and somebody's taking a picture of the bike. Seen it maybe 50 times. P.S. Your kidneys will dictate how that hardtail handles.
