Didn't cost me $5k to do my WG. Think I had $2.2k into the springer, caliper and fender mounts. I ordered from Ted, he has a ebay store but I dealt with him directly.

I have heard good things on jeris-springers. I have not done the calculations on the rocker rake etc for a springer, but I am betting 3 deg added rake will give a negetive handleing.
My wideglide has 34 deg of rake at neck and I had to run 0 rake and 0 offset trees to keep rake/trail in check. I know Jeris-springer will have you fill a sheet out so he can run the numbers before he builds one so you will be in good
hands.

Here is what the dragon looks like on a WG anyway

I think the only way a rocker would look good with a springer is with a rake and stock length..(slammed)

I have been looking for a springer front end for my rocker. everyone that I have spoken to has told me that springer only come in wide glide and that I wound have to use wideglide wheel and new bars and risers. I just bought my new wheels and do not want to change. any suggestions?
