Definitely stay away from bikeberry forks.

This one isn't bad if your head tube is built for 1 inch steerer tubes. Rim or disc. Adjustable preload. Fair enough price for what you get. Bullet proof construction but not as smooth as air forks.

It sure smooths out the bumps and potholes I miss dodging, I feel it gives more control over the bike on bumps.
The forks shortened the wheel base a few inches due to the forks being more straight up and down instead up curving forward some,it made it more twitchy riding.

I bet the Hyper has a 1 and a eighth tube,not sure if new bikes even due 1 inch anymore.

This is my major concern because the Hyper cruiser has such a wonderful ride with the curved forward type of fork on it...I would hate to have a type of fork that would ruin that rideability factor.

I am dabling with the thought of getting some sort of telescopic type forks for my Hyper cruiser but with so many different types and measurements and prices and having to have a disk caliper already a part of this as well as what will fit the Hyper or doesn't, it is making the decision quite difficult for this OM who really hates things that complicates my life anymore than what it is already...I ilke things basic and simple and everything conspires against that for me...lol...lol.

Then I agree with @Amwicr, get some monarch forks. They will probably even extend the wheel base a bit, and they'll be simple. Maybe they won't fit the deathstar vibe, but they'll be simple and mechanical

The Monarch's still look like they are way too straight to me and could compromise that front rake and short it a couple of inches or so and thus also compromise the ride and handling aspects of the Hyper.

The axle hanger is forward of the upright. I couldn't tell you if it would change it. Maybe just a suspension seat post?
