bent springer

[Fv2]

I've been searching around trying to find a 24" bent springer for a lowrider project,but all I can find is 20" & 26".
Does anyone make a 24" or should I just use a 26".
I plan on running 24" wheels.

Falstaff, I would probably go with the 26" springer. But, if you are building a lowrider, that will raise it some. I have had good luck building lower plates for these springers, they are actually a girder type fork with no moving parts in the lower fork. Here is a picture of some plates that I built for a 26" fork on my wife's 24" monark.

I used a 26 bent fork on a Stingray last year with a spacer under the lower bearing race, last year in the MBBO#3 go check out Fruit Krate...

What am I not seeing,how do you mount the wheel?

Fruit Krate looks good,but the 26" fork still raises the front. The good news is for what I'm planning I'm going to do a LocoJoe chop,so it might work out.

I cut the plates identical so there was no need for slots you can see that I drilled 2 axle holes, one above the other.
