RE: SPRINGER FRONT END
This has been discussed quite a few times- you might want to do a search for it. In short, it requires a little more maintenance but I can't tell the difference between my old Night Train and my Springer as far as ride. I read an article in AIM that concluded springers actually have a better ride if its set up properly. Ride is just as good as any other bike I have ridden.

Use the search.
Basically it boils down to those who have Springers fully appreciate them and everyone else wishes they had one.
Ok, maybe not. But the question remains, why hasn't your friend joined the forum and asked him or her self?

with the springer you feel less of the road because the front tire is essentially free to move up and down on its on where as the regular front end when the tire moves up the shock can be felt in the handlebars. so in summary if you take care of the springer front end it will be a better ride
