Re: Construction of the springer fork

These forks as it was written at the beginning designed for extra-wide tires, 4 inches wide, it is natural that they should be beefy, otherwise it looks wrong....
ordinary cheap springer does not accept wide tires, and my specially built for this, it is one of the most important of their qualities, I see you did not read the initial topic :lol: :lol:

Re: Construction of the springer fork

forks will be without brakes the brake is a different story at an additional cost,I can make a hub for two disc brakes, install it and set up the system :wink:

well shoot.. i was starting to consider using a standard springer on my stingray anyways, but with a twist!..
i just had an idea to pick up some steel flat bar 'for use as struts on the classic springer, but drill holes out in the side, making it more of a Girder fork.
the structual support comes into mind. im a real light guy and i dont think there will be any issues so i may go through with it, ill let you all know later in a build

but on another note, now knowing that they are for 4in wheels, it brings me to another old build idea and now i get real excited :roll:
the ole, occ stingray 4x4?! :idea: :shock: now its something i been meaning to do custom and this fork would look great on it, that and other things i had planned for it..
im looking up to the compleation of your work mate..
just when you come out with that $$$$tag is the real question of how broke for how long will i be :lol:
