I need some forks for a frame-up project. Anybody have an idea how these would work?
So far ive read that inverted forks are too stiff, but then some ppl think stock XS forks are too flexy. Any opinions?

In my opinion any thing can be done right now im using a fzr swingarm an r6 shock gsxr brakes in the rear and a buell front end which is upside down the bike isn't completed yet but it doesn't feel too stiff at all and if it is they make springs everyday look at the weight of a xs verses a sport bike they are pretty close that is just my opinion of coarse
