Springer front for my Street BOB
#12
Here in the state of Virginia, motorcycle safety inspection is mandatory. That sticker must be displayed at all times or the cops will write you a nice invitation to visit them in court. The plate is just a place to put it.

Lol..... Wait, what????
My pictures quite prominently display the bike has a license plate on the rear fender. Where pretty much EVERY motorcycle has them mounted. The inspection sticker in question, is a STICKER. You get that right? Its a sticker.....
It has nothing whatsoever to do with the license plate, and in Virginia, as with many states that require motorcycles be inspected, it must be predominantly displayed somewhere on the motorcycle. Many people simply slap them on the fork lowers. Other's like me, buy or make a metal tag, bolt it to the bike and display it that way. Not sure where all the confusion came from a yearly orange and white inspection sticker. Hope that helps?

So after a bit of Amazon shopping I come across these...

Guess these are crap?

Guess these are crap?
They are cheap, they rattle and took a crapload of work to get on my Dyna. And I lost turning radius. For the price they can't be beat, but Paughco Springers are exponentially better forks. But very pricey.
I ran the DNA's first as seen in this picture. Unless I was building a budget bike...... Which I had done, I would choose a better brand.

Ahhhh thanks bikerlaw.. Guess I mis read your post originally as I do most of the reading while watching TV.. Sorry..
Inspections aren't done down here on bikes nor cars. Maybe that's why there are so many cars without brake lights! But 99.8 percent of the bikes I have seen all have operating lights and safety features.
Never the less your bike still looks good..
But I do have a question about springer front end measurements? When it says plus 2 or minus 2. That means two inches forward or back? Or is it the height of the bars on the front end itself?
Always liked the look of a springer, but never really looked into them or studied them.
Thanks
