Help with a leaf spring springer fork

[core028]

Hey guys! Starting on my first build and needing some info. I really like the looks of a leaf spring fork. Does anyone know of a thread about building one or has anyone here built one? I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Yes, there have been a couple of build threads incorporating them.

when it comes to leaf spring forks, theres only one bike in mind that pulls it off.
not only does it pull it off, but it knocks em outta the park.
monster metal's mad hammer

i think this is a first and last of its kind.
the spring and design are so very well thought out. more importantly it looks like it belongs there, and not just bolted on.

i love this bike!
