Hinkley Bobber

I've had a bobber in my head for a long time now. It has one very interesting feature Earls Forks, How hard would this be to do on a bonnie and what would it do to the handeling??

In general, I would suggest you try to ride a bike w/ earles forks (difficult to find these days). I have ridden some a long time back and never thought they were an improvement on the Cerianis of the day (shows my age). I found them to be very heavy and provide some strange dynamics while in the air (Greeves). Personally, I think they are ugly and a bit the opposite of the minimalist bobber approach. But, it's your bike.

As far as how difficult, same as adding any other front end. You need to find the forks, find or make triple clamps that will fit them and the bonnie, find a front hub that works, brakes that work, etc. etc.
