My 2018 Slim is apart. I'm doing an S&S 124 kit. I'm looking to eventually have a retro looking bobber style to the bike. If anyone can chime in on putting a springer front end on, please do. I am hoping to find a used crossbones front end, I want the black. I've started to look around but no success. Any input at all is greatly appreciated : Opinions, resources where I might find a springer front end, thoughts on aftermarket (really trying to avoid that if possible).. I'm new to the Harley thing, trying to find my way.
Thanks
I have had several springers in years past. I have a 19 Slim. Springers wont fit because they changed the neck dimensions in 2018. The neck is taller so the springer fork stem is not tall enough to bolt up. It needs a fork stem that is taller and extensions on the back leg because with the taller fork stem the upper clamp wont seat. I am working on a kit to remedy this as I have 3 springer front ends in my garage. But it is a long term project.I am talking about Harley springers, I don't think aftermarket has anything yet

thanks Scotty. Good information (albeit bad news). I would like to see what you come up with for a solution. I’m not in a rush to get the Springer on. If I have to wait a season and re-plenish the cash reserves so be it. If you come across a black oem springer let me know. Thanks man
