The amount of welding you need to make that Brain springer is pretty minimal. if your on a budget its a good way to go I think. All those forks in those photos you posted have weldign on them by the way. I read that john Brain still uses the springer he made in that article, and thats like 7 or more years now, crazy.

yeah i know the ones listed above are welded..
i was wondering if there was a easy bolt together build or a fork i could buy to bolt on the other springer parts..
maybe even a conversion kit..

Too many different triple trees, and every one seems to have different specs for fork tube size and width. Thats probably why nobody ever tried to make a conversion kit, too many variables. Just buy a ChoppersUS springer or make your own like that one in the link Mastec posted. I have never heard of a conversion kit to make a springer out of a stock triple tree. Cause what tree would they make it for?
