Ultima 58mm inverted frontend problem

I have the Ultima 58mm inverted front end on my custom. After 400 miles the front end blew out on the lower end, opposite side of the seals, and threw oil everywhere. Ultima warrantied it and sent me a brand new front end. After 150 miles, the brand new front end did the same thing. As I have read on a few other threads, Midwest would not deal with me directly and were pretty rude on the phone when I said I was not a dealer. Luckily the shop I deal with got them to play ball and warranty it. But they did tell me nobody at Midwest knew anything about the front end or its internal parts, thats why they just sent a whole new front end. My bike has 48 degrees of rake and i think the forks are flexing slightly on the road instead of compressing causing this problem. Has anybody else had this problem. PLEASE HELP!
