54MM ceriani front end install
I got my forks today and now I will get a new lift and start the newest version of my Bike. They were 430 on ebay and a good starting point for my bikes rebirth this year. I will need to get some information on these also. They need fluid and I don't know how much. Here it goes. Day one. Here are my forks. They are missing a few of the cap bolts so I have a few more bits to collect before I can get the front end done.

Can't wait to see the finished product!! If it's anything like the rest of the versions, it'll be a work of art.

Inverts are the only way to go on a bike, those look badass
Too bad H-D is to lame to relize the outstanding benefits they provide for less stiction and better overall feel and response they give a good rider.
When i was racing Moto-x back in the late 80's early 90's i remember when the japs converted over to inverts in the mx line up, the difference is like day and night.
Great find can't wait to see them installed on your ever ending bike.  oh btw those new inverts aren't raked are they? or you over riding
a bike with raked trees?

Those look real nice. I think those are the early version of the Harley Ceriani's. Do you have the axle and spacers?
If you think they are like mine I can tell you what my instructions say about adjustments and fluid levels.

Ralph...
You currently running a wide glide? If so, I have some questions for you.

Really like the look Ralph!!
Are you going to leave the tubes "natural" or go black?

Not sure on the tubes. Until I get some assembly instructions for these forks I am not doing anything to the color. I really like the black ones on the storz web site. I would anodize black if I were to go that route.
