Raising the front end of my hugger?

[Nzpure]

What do?

My hugger uses 39mm forks at the standard 25 3/8" length..How do i raise it short of getting custom forks?
Am i able to get longer springs or be really cheap and chuck some holdy valve springs in there?
Any ideas?

Lower your tyre pressure?

longer damper tubes will fix it,but requires the forks to be dismantled

You're just wanting to increase the front end stretch, without modifying the rake and trail?

well apparently huggers are just lowered sportsters i just want to bring it up to the same height as a sportster.

Probably should start by comparing them to the measurements of a sportster then. Find some stats or go measure one. Tube length, lower leg length, diameter for a start.

Hopefully it might just be a tube change and I suppose a longer spring?

Edit -

Or find a 2nd hand front end?

tube diameter is the same as modern sportsters and dyna's. Dont want to spend too much as im prolly just gunna sell it but if i raise the front end and give it a little bit of a bobber look might be easier to sell?
