First time customizing.......HELP ????

[fhartman]

I recently got an xs 400 in trade for a car that I had. Instead of selling it I decided to customize it for myself. Here is the problem that I have. I am about finished with what I want the bike to become, however I am try to find a set of forks for it. I want a set that is 42 inches from the top of the triple tree to the fork nuts. The problem is everything I find is so expensive. Is there a stock set of forks(even if from a different bike) that I can use. I cant weld and wouldn't have a clue how to fabricate something like this. I would prefer something that I could bolt into the existing triple tree since I don't want to rake it out, just raise the front end up. A standard set of forks are only 30 inches measured the same way.and

2eightcustoms thanks for the lead I will check it out I was hoping for something I could just bolt in with out having to rebuild it but if that's not in the cards maybe I can get my brother to help me with the fork rebuild.
