I will leave things the way that they are. When I built up my 520, it was meant to be taken everywhere, and that included the Dempster as that was on my mind at that time. Thanks again for your thoughts.

Lauf Grit | Lauf Forks - The lightest suspension forks on the market

And, something seems to have changed on the Forum, maybe I've just been away too long on my last trip, but how do I add a picture instead of a link? It keeps asking for a URL when I want to upload a picture.
Interesting but...Damn! $900 for a springer fork!

And I'm not so sure about the effectiveness of the fork if the video is any indication. Look at about the 40 second mark where the rider makes the transition from gravel to pavement. The front tire almost bottoms out with the fork to about the same degree as the rear tire. The front tire deflection should be less, especially if you are going to spend $900 on a fork.
