I ran the American Suspension on my Train. The things I really liked about it were the shocks inside the springs and the ability to cut the front and rear tubes to the height I wanted. It is totally modular.

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
Pretty sure they were in Daytona this week Ink.FB page said they will be in tomorrow. Pat and that bunch are some fun people. They make some nice stuff.Old shop they are in is pretty cool.

Chuck there's something I didn't know, that's a great advantage, I'm going to have to check that out

G that explains everything for me now as they been out all week then.
That springer front would be great but I'm after something much shorter

Anyone know who makes this springer front? It's in a local ad here, the guy just says it's made by some one in Japan

What springer were you looking at? And was it from the states or here in oz? Definitely better pricing from the states

Another nice thing about AS springer is you can run regular bike bars. They don't have to be springer bars. You also order it with the brake set-up on the side you want. Can get dual discs if that floats your boat also.......
