Homemade springer fronts?

[rusty1]

Anyone ever build their own springer front for a bike,..or think about doing it?
I know it could be done, or even using a leaf-spring front like some of the old motorcycles used,..or a short shock absorber...
Any thots on this?

Go look at a number of BUILD threads in RRBO3. There were a lot of GREAT forks designed in that build off.

Here is one that may be easy to build without welding. Beau built this fork. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=12858&p=130417#p130417

This is easily my favorite bike on the forum, and I've spent forever figuring out how you made that springer. It just looks clean, and like it was made to go FAST. Great job man!

Here's one of mine.

Always been a big fan of that one, she's got a nice flow about her.

one I am working on right now

still a concept but I like it so far

here it is on a not quite done frame

rick that fork on the muscle bike is brilliant. one of those "wow that is cool and would not be that hard to do sorta thing." very nice and that other one with the reversed mtb fork is great too love the flowing lines.

[vermodreary]

yeah i have a version of springer forks of my own in the works though some of those are pretty amazing.

Someone should start a Springer Gallery! There continue to be some cool real and faux springers even in BO7.
