this subject prompted me to trawl teh netz, and for the meatier rider the following weight limits were derived from enquiry:
"Easton EC90 SL & SLX - No limit per Easton (the one I have now)
Flyte CR3 - 280 lbs
Alpha Q GS series - 225 lbs
Alpha Q CS series - unknown
Alpha Q SUB 3 - 200 lbs
Alph Q Z-Pro - no weight limit
Reynolds Ouzo Pro - 200 lb limit for 1" steerer, 210 for 1 1/8" steerer
Reynolds UL - no limit (new for 2007)
Ritchey - they wouldn't say but I told them I was 230 (I'm really 240) and they suggested an alloy steerer model

What forks?

My favourate three forks would be....
Easton EC90
Reynolds Ouzo Pro
Alpha Q CS20
The Easton is the lightest I think, but they are all known for their stiffness, and reliability. Yes they all have carbon steerers and are sub 400g (maybe not the Alph Q9). But they are more than tough enough for road riding. But if you are working under the assumption that you are destined for a head on crash, I'd get one of these....
