Springers on certain bikes

You think a springer fork could be easily installed onto a mongoose like this:

(Not exact bike i'm working on but i couldn't find an exact or close enough photo to give an example of my Mongoose Booster)

Not working? What's the trouble?

well, ok im just gonna ask why the @%#* a bmx?
first off what kind of srpinger..
second, whats the HT size? [1in threaded - 1-1/8 threadless] cause that bike in the pic is a 1-1/8 threadless 'Intregrated Campy spec 45x45'
third, get a pic of your actual bike your working on, would really help :wink:

I have seen mountain bikes with springers added. A BMX is pretty much a mountain bike without gears (or either a mountain bike is a BMX bike with gears). I have also seen banana seats and apes added to a BMX bike. Experiment and have fun. However you will need to know the length and diameter of the steering tube fork on your existing fork to source a springer that fits.

Nah man it's that I'm really being indecisive. I dunno if i want to be on my Mongoose booster and delay its deadline longer. Or just save it for another time. It's really frustrating.
