The OP asked about a Cross Bones front end. That is an FL type with 16 inch tire. That is one I really would like to see!

Also Kpreese ...



And bikerlaw ...



And man4mopar ...

... but none of them are from a Cross Bones donor ... may be a few more springer Dynas that I can't think of off hand ....

Looking at gorilla's thread again ... he is using a 16" x 3" front rim ... more or less what the Cross Bones is using ... but, it looks different because it's not blacked out ....

Also, might not be quite as wide ... and different look without a fender ....

There is no Street Bob Springer front end. Paughco makes a Springer that is a direct bolt on, but its two thousand dollars. You can modify standard forks from the MOCO but it takes quite a bit of grinding and prep work. Used factory forks go from $600 to $1200 on ebay. Just for the forks. You can also get a cheaper DNA Springer. They are $400. I installed one of them a couple years back. As with the MOCO forks, they will fit but you have to do a ton of grinding and fitting to be able to actually turn them. All of them will require a set of brakes and a fender..... if you want a fender. Springers also use Springer specific risers and most standard handlebars won't fit either. The riser spacing on Springers is wider than standard forks.

If its anything like putting a standard Softail set of forks on a Dyna, you will have to do a significant amount of grinding to the fork stops. I installed a DNA Springer on my bike a while back before I went with the current Paughco. The DNA was made for the Softail neck. I had to grind down a ton of metal on the Springer itself as well as the fork stop that is integral to the neck of my Low Rider. Nothing that couldn't be overcome, but a hell of a lot of work for sure. I have never installed a MOCO factory Springer on a Dyna because I don't like the derake they have. I prefer the true inline features of the traditional Paughco Springer and even the DNA. Like I mentioned in my first post, if you opt for a factory 1988 or newer set of forks, you will spend $600-1200 just for the forks if you get the FX (Bad Boy Style) Springer and (like AFMM3 stated) probably double that for the FL (Heritage) style Springer. Then you need a wheel and tire with a 3/4 axle, a set of brakes, springer risers, and a headlight. Springer bars can be had anywhere. If you shop smart, $1,500 should get you what you need for the older FX style and 21 inch wheel. A grand more if you want the FL style front end with a 16 inch wheel/tire combo. A heck of a lot less if you buy DNA forks. But they are cheap Chinese parts. They will get the job done, but they are still cheap chinese forks. I got my Paughco at cost due to some favors I pulled, so I have maybe $2,000 total into my entire front end. That included the brand new forks, wheel, brakes, headlight and bars. I reused the factory fender. I hope you do it. We need more Dyna Springers.
