ok, so I have 3 BFKs now. The plan is to do the green one like an early 60's Super Deluxe with the whitewalls and fenders and springer and all, the blue one like a late 60's fenderless Stingray, and the black one like a mid 70's BMX conversion. So blue and black lose their springers. I played with bikes all the time as a kid in the 70s and 80s, took 'em all apart and did ugly things putting them back together, but I never had anything with a springer... so I have ZERO experience taking these things apart. My question: If I just start unbolting the pieces of the springer, am I gonna have a problem compressing the spring to get it back together again? Or is there a trick to getting it back together?
I'm actually a little unhappy with the springer on the green bike... it's not perfectly straight. Sitting on the bike, I can see the spokes on the right side of the wheel and not the left, and the top of the tire is leaning to my left. So I'm hoping that one of the other springers is a little straighter, and I'll be able to switch it onto the green bike...
thanks in advance for any advice...
