Suggest A Cool Springer

Muttley · Sep 6, 2016

I recently bought a Spaceliner project from another member and I'm on the lookout for a cool set of forks. I've been searching eBay and come across a few neat looking ones. I'd like to know if there are any problems and/or modifications that will need to be taken care of beforehand. I'd rather not have to monkey around with it too much. I'm basically looking for something to bolt on and go. Here's a few pictures of the forks I'm considering:

Any pros/cons to the different styles or is that just an aesthetic concern? Any photos of similar bikes with these or other cool Springers are welcome. Has anyone used any of the reproductions above? If so how are they quality wise? Here are the links to the reproduction forks:

Some springers won't work if your liner has the tank and bezel.
The shockmaster in pic 2 should work, or you can use a rattrap that some liners had.

If your don't have or won't be using the tank the forks in pics 3 and 4 would look cool on a liner frame.

I like the bee hive in pic 1, but I personally don't think it would look right on a liner. And wouldn't fit with the tank.

I don't have the tank right now but I am supposed to be getting it soon. I hadn't originally planned to use it anyway. I was originally planning on the forks in the fourth photo but I haven't been able to get a response as far as the quality of their parts goes. This isn't an immediate need, I've still got two other projects in line before I start messing with this one so I don't need to rush into anything. I'm kind of leaning more towards the third ones at this point, it's hard to argue with these looks..............................
