Tim have you run across the same leaking issue that draza1 has?

 

Is the below frotnend a standard ultimate 58 mm 5 degree or is it +2,+4 or what? Also confirm it is raked.

Thanks

 

It is the standard Ultima inverted, 0 rake and standard length, with the 120/70 tire

If it would ever quit snowing around here I could let you know how it handles

 

I am in NH and understand the snow issue. The one good thing is it allows us soome downtime to work on these bikes..lol

The bike looks great. What is the stock rake of your bike?

 

I have the 5 degree 2" over on my softail for the last 3 years. Rides great and no leaks.

 

I am really really considering one of these front ends for my 2009 Dyna FXDC. I have a 49MM frontend now and it is considerd a mid-glide. I want a wide glide with 5 degree rake. I was considerig the stock length or the -2.

I do not want a tall front end, I would prefer it the same height or lower then my current front end. I just do not know if -2 will be too low with the 5 degree rake. Any one know the answer to that?

I am running 11" shocks in the rear and a Lepera bare bones seat, so my bike is slammed to the ground n the back and lookinfg for same look in the front.

 

These do not have the external fork stop pins right? Did you run internal fork stop? If so do you have part numbers, details and pictures?

if so that would be great!

 

For the fork stops, Ultima offers an internal that I bought but spent too long trying to get my OEM fork cup out, after talking to the dealer and looking in my parts book, turns out i do not have a fork cup just bearings and race.
The Ultima external fork stops will not work on my model. Basically there is are 2 threaded holes on each side that you can install external stops in. My softail required a minimun of 3/4" diameter in order to hit the frame and not the tank.
Below is picture of my home-made stops. They consist of a 1.75" button head screw, 2 washers, and a chevy swing arm bushing per side. The fork lock bottom was cut and grinded (bottom stem). I now have about 1.5" when the wheel is turned full in either direction before hitting the tank. The button head screw was a must for this for clearance.

 

YOU SEEM TO HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH THESE FORKS. I PUT THEM ON AN AMERICAN IRONHORSE TEXAS CHOPPER 10 OR 12 OVER 5 DEGREES AND EXPERIENCING LEAKS RIGHT AWAY . RIGHT TUBE LOWER SEAL AND LEFT TUBE TOP SEAL. ANY INFO YOU CAN GIVE ME ON HOW YOU WOULD DEAL WITH IT WOULD BE COOL. I KNOW YOU SAID YOU SWITCHED BUT IT WOULD BE A SHAME TO GIVE UP ON SUCH A GOOD LOOKIN FORK.

 

Can you email me that tech manual? My email: bksweeney99@aol.com
