73 cl125 fork compatibility ????

[photoputz83]

I am in the process of building a cafe out of a 1973 cl125. the way that the cl sits isnt what i had in mind when starting the build. the front end seems way to high. i have been looking around and trying to find a compatible fork that will mount on the front of this bike and found almost zero information. is there a triple tree setup that i and use on this bike that allows me to push the forks through the triple tree or not? what are my options to lower the front end aside from shorter tubes, or cutting the tubes? any bit of information would help! just looking for a way to lower the front end a couple inches...

Mount a cb350 front end.
Might bolt on, might not. Search around.

How much lower do you want to bike?
Did you think about the geometry? Lowering a bike almost always has a negative effect on the handling.
But then again most just use the cop out "I'm not racing" or " is just going to be used around town". All well and good, but is important to know when making changes what they do...it's not all for the looks
