Rear Springer

[kngtmat]

I have the main four bars of a Schwinn style springer and I need help with ideas on how I can make it work. So if anyone has done one or can give any suggestions on how to do it let me know?

I am going to do it for my 68 stingray rat.

check out some photos of twin flex bikes and even some modern full suspension frames may offer some inspiration.

I have a plan do to one but I'm not sharin 8)

Also don't forget the mother of rear springers the, Twin Flex.
1918 Ranger has a great build story on his here.

If I understand correctly, you're looking to build a rear springer from 'Schwinn'-style parts?

If so, here's a great example: Engine No. 9

Good luck!
