I have done something similar with a Kona Smoke but five speed gearing. Must get some pictures of it.

Thanks, they're DMR jump forks, I have another set of Identiti forks but they come without brake bosses, which were originally fitted to my '99 GT Tequesta, but realised I prefer to have both front and rear V brakes.
Those DMR forks were the closest I could find to resemble the look of the old 80's GT BMX forks. Referring to angle at which the legs are welded to the steerer tube. I do like the looks of these forks on the Tempest.
It is a great bike to ride too, very smooth thanks in part thanks to the DMR Moto tyres and a Shimano XT drivetrain!

Found a not very good pic of the Kona, have to take it for a spin and get better ones.
