    Instead of running struts on it why don't you find a set of 10 inch shocks. This will give you the stance you want and also a better ride plus I think the shocks look better than the struts. You can get 10.5 inch Honda Rebel shocks off ebay for about 70 bucks.

    Looks like the paint doesn't like to stick to the chromed pieces too much; especially the fork tubes!

    I have to agree...IMHO.

    You can't successfully paint fork tubes, period.

    If you wanna hide 'em, use boots:
