Been wanting to get some forks that will fit a cruiser frame that will allow me to have a front disc brake and front suspension setup. I know nothing about aftermarket forks. Just wanted to see if anyone can make some recommendations?

Your cruiser frame probably has a 1” steerer fork, so that’s what you’ll need. Honestly there isn’t much for a low price… and if there is, then you have to “figure out” a lot of it.

I’d go for a coil fork with 2-5” of travel in the minimum $200 price range.

I hope to offer a range of performance forks for motorbikes as cheap as possible, because figuring a fork setup that’s solid, rigid, lightweight, with correct geometry, and has the travel you want has always been a problem for me at least.

This is about the cheapest you want to go, sunlite, has the thicker piviot bars for more stabilaty. All the restwill get unstable later down the road.......Curt
