TC Bros in the US, Ohio IIRC, sells the MotoIron springer. You should look into them. IIRC, MotoIron is out of England.
I have a TC Bros motoiron springer on my bike. It is stoutly constructed. The legs are one piece and thicker than the DNA and other ones. A Paugcho is the cat's meow, but they are very expensive.
Any Wide Glide or Softail Custom front end will bolt on perfectly.. Or any other front end from 1990-2005. Depends on the looks you want.. Even though my 98 Fatboy was not a Springer, I still wanted to change the front end from an FL to an FX..
Basically your bike is an FXSTC with a springer front end FXSTS...
EDITED: By the way sorry to hear for your loss...

98hotrodfatboy @98hotrodfatboy So you are saying a (Dana) Wide Glide or Softail Custom front end will bolt on a (1997 springer) perfectly.. Or any other front end from 1990-2005

As long as the neck stem diameters are the same it will bolt on. I have built two bikes on 1998 and 1997 softail frames. One had an FL front end like a fat boy and the present one has a Moto Iron Springer. They all use the same stem size. Just need to pay attention to the length so the bike sits level.
Which manufacturer produces these springer forks, and where are they made?
Is it perhaps a company in China? Otherwise, the low price is hard to explain...
f you enter the two terms Harley and Springer on the appropriate Chinese websites, a lot of nasty
stuff appears, more than you could possibly look at...
