I'm warming up to these. Just like the other review says, you can't kick start your maxi on the stand with these (although you can tilt the bike on the side of the stand and do it with some difficulty).
Also, because they're longer, you get just a *slight* "chopper" look to the front of your bike, but not too much. I'm warming up to it.
Definitely sturdy and well built though. They look great.
My stock stabilizer doesn't fit it though. And it seems to have a weird stabilizer mounting welded on (if that's even what it is- it's only a one-hole tab on each fork). Treats- tell us exactly which one we need for these.
I say buy- but know what you're getting.

these forks are halfway between maxi and magnum forks, and so they will make your bike sit on the kickstand with both wheels touching the floor. this makes it so you cant start the bike on the kick unless you park on a little hill or on a board. if you are a perfectionist then get a magnum stand with these.
the forks have the original maxi style fender attachment, so the magnum style ebr fork stabilizer will not do it here. I used my stock fender, so my maximum tire size seems to be a 2.25x17. if you want to put monster 3" tires on you will have to chop something.
