The bike I built before Iraq was a paughco rigid frame (sportster) 2.5 up 2.5 out, 40 degree rake with 7 degree trees and 12 over tubes with a trail of 2.18
The bike I built after Iraq was a Carolina Custom rigid 6 up 6 out, with 6 degree trees and 14 overs on a 42 degree neck
As for your fork length and measurements, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER trust ANY manufacturer to tell you the truth on tube length need with what degree trees, do the checking your self, do the math yourself to check your trail, and if building from the ground up, unless you buy a matched rolling chassis (even then do the math for your trail) don't buy the tubes, or springer until you have the frame set up and layed out as the measurements they give are for the set they like.
