Suspension fork for cruiser?

[Nashville Kat]

I have one build with one-

It works really well- 3 years plus with no problems- it adds a bit of weight compared to the stock tubular fork- Really feel a bit more control over bumps

Here's one I see listed on ebay- Not bad for $28 shipped

I have a 27 inch wheel in mine- a 700C wheel would fit even better even though it's listed for 26"- a fairly normal reach- not too short- will work with a brake mounted in the center hole, if you aren't using a 26" wheel and the cantilevers.

the same seller has several in different colors- make sure you get a one inch thread fork if you have a cruiser, and measure the steer tube carefully- he has two lengths in stock now. You can cut down a longer steer tube if there's enough thread.

Another advantage here also is that these forks raise the front of the bike up an inch or so- since a cruiser often is long in the engine mounting section, the motors are hard to get level- having a shock fork helps a bit. You can more likely use a straight billet intake- a guaranteed performance enhancer for only about $20, if the motor is level.

If you're getting 30 or above, I highly recommend- your'e less likely to get surprised by a jolt on a pothole or bump and lose control- also the larger 700C wheels are a plus in this department.

A replacement, or a first suspension fork for a mountain bike frame will probably take a fork with a 1 1/8" steer tube- there are some listed there too:
