Abstract: An apparatus, method, and kit for modifying a stock inverted front fork assembly of a motorcycle. The resultant modified stock inverted front fork assembly includes shortened lower stock cartridge components of a factory stock inverted front fork assembly, and an air cylinder assembly operatively connected to the shortened lower stock cartridge components of the factory stock inverted front fork assembly. The air cylinder assembly has a cylinder body capable of being screwed into a top portion of a stock fork tube, a piston inside of the cylinder body, a spring button attachment point, and a shaft connected to the piston at a proximal end of the shaft and connected to the spring button attachment point at a distal end of the shaft.
