Longer fork tubes for 2004 XB12s

I would like to know if there are 4" longer fork tubes for Buell XB12s, 2004. Would I also need longer springs in the fork tubes? I have built a Buell XB Bobber and need to raise the front of the frame by 1-1/2 inches. I figured by extending for fork tubes by 4" I will accomplish this. Thank you!

I'm pretty sure the xb12stt and the xb12ss have longer forks. Don't know how much longer they are though. And you can get them in black now.

I think the Uly's would be just about the correct length.

the uyly's are 4mm longer. the internal fork tubes are the same as the older buell 44mm tubes, that might help you find what you need.

You need to build and extension to the cartridge. It is what limits the length of travel. You could put in a spacer for the spring then to take up that space.
