To clarify what others have posted, the frame geometry determines the fork you need. Your best bet is to find the manufacturer's website and see what was on the frame originally. From there, you can increase the offset to make it handle a little quicker or decrease offset to make for a slower steering response. We're talking a few mm in either direction, but you really need to know what the frame was designed for.
