Default Do you still have your springer?

I am the original owner of a 2005 Springer classic and was wondering how many owners out there still have their springer.

When I was at Laconia last year I did not see many at all and was wondering where have all the springers gone?

Looking to add an older road king classic to my stable but still love my springer.

My old man's last bike. He passed before he finished it. He hand built the back fender and it was still in the rough to teardown and paint whole bike. Sons bike to finish now.

1991




He built bikes from 60s until he passed in 02/2020

This was his last ride.....

Here's mine - 2002 Heritage Springer. The tins came from a 2005 Springer Classic and I had them painted.

I have a bagger and a Heritage..... yet, I went looking for a nice Springer to add to my garage...

It took 6 months, but I found one that I really liked (it was all OEM, except the seat, when I got it) with low mies (10K)... 2001 FXSTS

It won't be going anywhere, it's a lot of fun to drive!!!

Would like to ask you springer guys a question. I have a 200 rear Fatboy and am kicking around the idea of snatching the front end off and replacing it with a HD springer. If I were to get one from a Bones, would my stock front tire fit the width?

I am not sure about the Fatboy but my springer has a 90/16 tire on the front.
