Is the carbon fork original (from 2007)? Is 1-1/4" a Santana thing because afaik current (threadless) standard is 1-1/8". Before you go the route of a custom steel fork ... I mean, this problem must come up often and Santana may have steer tube extenders for their forks. I'd at least consult them first.
