Default 2018 and up FXBB Springer front end?

Does anyone have a line on a Springer front end for newer Street Bobs? I've been looking around since I bought the bike and find nothing. Failing that, does anyone know of another older bike that will match up?

Take a look at Thunderbike website

And if you google springer M8 platform many will turn up.... even in Australia from Gold Coast Harley Davidson


I know it is not a FXBB but it is on the new Softail frame...

No reason a Paughco springer front end would not work. Finding a used Crossbones will prob cost nearly as much or more.

There are companies that make reproduction Harley springers, I'm getting one for my FXBB from Meatball Springers here in Australia. I'll be sure to post photos...

Check out TC Bros A friend has one on an EVO frame, and it is beautiful.

I sure did. Had it on for 12 months now with a 21" wide glide wheel. Love it.

Nice looking bike, does it turn enough for a U turn, my friend install another brand speinger and he can't turn enough, fork hits the neck, did you face this issue?

Yes. It has limited my turning circle but only makes a difference at car park speeds so it's manageable.
