Hi,
I'm toying (again) with the idea of replacing my front end.
I think what I really want to achieve is a beefier look up front.
yes a springer would be nice but looks like an expensive and involved excersise
I really like the look of this one---> http://www.meanstreetproducts.com/08/av550.html or something real clean like this one.
Ideally looking for something that will change over easy and dont want to change the rake or tube lengths
So any ideas? whats out there? where should I look to get a great deal?
can anybody recomend a product or business?
Thanks
Dan

ARE YOU GOING +0, 3, 5, 7 at all??? I'm thinking +5 right now, but possibly +7...don't want to get carried away though and lose my rake/trail.
that being said....this calcualator...i'm having problems
http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/rakeandtrail.html
I dont exactly know the EXACT triple clamp offset for the Rocker
-front tire diameter iv'e got the Rocker around 25.83...somewhere close
-frame rake @ 36.5
-32 in forks
-triple tree rake @ +1
BUT.....i got problems, i've plugged in alot of different numbers and haven't got the stock Rockers advertised Rake/trail @ 6.20....i'm not getting that
so if someone would like to break it down the Rockers exact dimensions with some proof rather than just talking i'd like to see it. It would help out me & this guys looking at new front ends for sure..
also, maybe thinking about lowering the rear/ raising the front mixes to help out the drivability...rake/trail
thanks
and to Rocker Dan, my fault for hijacking, but, this should help us both, look fwd to seeing how and what we get done!
JOE WHAT may be the only guy on the forum right now I know as a Rocker owner has swapped his frontend and went +5 ....... JOE WHAT YOU GOT?

Hey guys. The rake is 5° the length ended up being
-1 inch undet stock which is nice if the bike is lowered.
I didn't pay much attention to rake and trail numbers
I just did it. I've had no issues with handling at any
speeds. Have rode for long distances two up and
handles like a champ. The only thing with this particular
frontend it is a little stiff, but that's my only complain.
its an ultima 58mm inverted. For the price you can't go
wrong.
