Default Sportster dual sport

I've search but didn't find much on this so does anyone have information on converting a spotster into a dual sport bike. I don't want motocross just knobbby tires for dirt road with longer travel in the suspension.

You can go with some showa or Ohlins shocks, like say 13-14" in the rear, and a set of forks made by either or. It's not gonna go over jumps well, though. Check out some of the bikes at Rolandsandsdesign.com They might have somethign close to what you're lookin' for.
