Hey fellas, after a ton of searching, I can't find an answer.

Are there any stock (or stock looking) springer front ends from any model or year out there that measure around 18-20" from bottom of neck to centre axle that will fit my train with little or no mods?

How To Measure For Springer Front Ends

  • Measure the fork currently on your bike
  • All measurements should be taken from the lower stem bearing cup to the center of the axle
If stock front forks measure:

  • 19"- 21" = 2" under
  • 21"- 23" = Stock
  • 23"- 25" = +2" over
  • 25"- 27" = +4" over

Thanks a million cartman, there's a couple there I didn't know of. I don't want DNA, but it's surprising how many different companies I've come across making what looks like to be the exact same design. I'm guessing they'd be much better quality?

I've already measured my front at 20 1/4". Was hoping to go a little lower. They all seam to measure different, some 2 unders are the same as another's 4 unders and vice versa

I've talk to jerries springers and Thompson choppers, both nice springers but they just look too much "custom chopper" look for what I want.

I'm trying to get onto Led Sled customs but I can't get ahold of them, they'd be my pick of choice

I'm thinking maybe one of those $600 springers might do the trick if I don't hear from led sled
