ZODIAC has now added Slim
Bubba front forks to its product
line-up. Based upon the existing
Bubba front fork, this new offering
is a slimmed down, narrower fork,
which is 195mm wide. The sizing
has been chosen to make it suitable
to take a Narrow Glide front hub
and a stock or stock style brake
caliper. It can also be equipped with
Zodiac’s own special direct bolt-on
Harrison Billet calipers for Bubba
front forks.
Triple trees and sliders used for
the Bubba forks are billet aluminum
with a polished finish. The upper
triple tree clamp is 1-1⁄8in thick, the
lower measures 1-5⁄16in, and the
sliders have a have a 2-3⁄8in
diameter, feature fender brackets
and mounting blocks to take both
left and right side calipers.
Conversion brackets that take ‘84 –
‘99 style aftermarket calipers or ‘00
to present style OEM or aftermarket
brake calipers can be ordered

Öhlins S36 series shocks are available as an
upgrade for Sportster, Dyna, FLH and FLT
touring models

separately. The brackets need to be
modified to fit OEM ‘84 – ‘99
calipers.
The front wheel axle has a hidden
mount and the sliders are finished
with billet aluminum dust covers.
Slim Bubba forks are available in
various lengths (30.5in – 44.5in)
and with 0-, 3-, and 6-degree raked
triple trees and include three
