    I would like to put longer forks on my bike, I don't want to go chopper crazy, What all would that entail, and where would I find acceptable forks

    What model do you have ? 650-750 makes a difference.

    You want longer forks you will have to replace the inner fork tubes. Changing the fork length will change the handling or your bike, remember that.

    Forks by Frank, they make any size you want for any bike.
