^^^^ I envy your fork rocker covers!
My personal opinion is that if Harley were to someday reintroduce a Springer, either as a regular model or a CVO that it wouldn't negatively affect the value of the old ones. Springer love is never going to be universal, but it is never going away either.

^^^ I don't see them returning either. I think the discontinuance of the Springer models has a lot to do with economics. I watched them make spring forks at the York factory in '01. Quite a process. Lot's of (skilled) labor going into forming, welding and polishing the pieces. When I compare that cost versus taking a Japanese fork out of a box it's easy to see why they cost more.

You know Harley sold the equipment to make the springers...vtwin has the FL equipment and is making springers that are hard to tell from stock...and some company in Germany has the FX equipment and is pumping them out...since both these company's are selling these springers right now...my guess is they sold the rights also...meaning they have no plan to re-introduce them.

if the MoCo brings the springer back. And that will of course only be a special series, as in a new soringer series. Much like the CVO or Tushmore and asy other series... Maybe theyll tagg it as the SS?, LOL.
You can expect to have to pay a hefty amount more for it.
Used prices for a springer OEM fork have been known to exeed the $3k mark.
You can best believe HD will orice it at, or above that mark.
He ce why ai stated that value will go higher still IMO
