gorilla put a black springer on his bike. He calls it Lucy. There's a thread, but he has not reposted the pictures. Extremely cool.

Someone else had bought an Indian-style leaf front end. Wonder what happened to that project, too...

There's at least 2 guys on the Dyna board that have done it...just title search "springer" and you should find em. Nice **** they've put together....that's my 10 year plan for my Bob.

Few have gone the easily found e-bay DNA springers, a couple gone with Paugcho springers and at least one has installed a original equipment harley springer to the dyna superglide. There are other choices too such as Redneck springer, Jerry Springers, American suspension dragon and so on. I believe Paugcho is making one a direct compatable to the Superglide. Others usually require some slight modifications such as space lower neck bearing down. And some different methods of forks stops. Brakes, handle bars etc all deppend on the style front end used. And most if not all require using 3/4" axles, so a 3/4" bearing swap to the existing front wheel or new front wheel is in order.
