OK, have been looking at the option of adding a springer front end on the dyna. Particular is the tribal standard offered by Jeri Springer (no joke), but I have two questions and you only need to be able to answer one to help

First, how is the ride on the springer front end bikes when compared to the standard Wide Glide front end ?

Second, anyone familiar with Jeri Springer Front Ends ?

I'm on my second one the first was a 93 FX and now my 05 Springer Classic . The springer front end will give you just as good if not a better then a glide front end, the one draw back with the springer is the short amount of travel it has 99% of the time you'll never notice the difference the 1% comes in if you hit a real rough section of road, thats when the shorter travel will be noticeable.

 

wont it cause fist fights every time you drive by a trailer park?

 

The springer won't dive under braking which is nice. I feel the road a little more. I think the hydraulic forksdamp small vibrations along with the bumps. I like feeling more connected to the road, some people may not like it as much.

From everything I've seen, Jeri knows what he's doing. I looked into his springers and got a quote from Sugar Bear before going with a factory springer. There's a guy on another forum that put a Jeri's springer on his Street Bob so Jeri can accomodate a Dyna frame.
