i like the one you picked out, but i think the ones chaz showed you are more rider friendly and more comfortable (just my opinion). also, i heard a rumor that you may be able to find some OEM springer kits at a dealer in their obsolete parts wearhouses, for quite a bit less. i would ask around your local dealers and see if they have any conversion kits from the late 90's. a lot of folks converted softail standards into springers back then.

 

Same size to same size yes. And if they get lubed they work great for a long time. And when they fail they usualy wreck the shaft and sometimes the bore they ride in.


Are you sure? Here is mine from AS. I haven't removed the dust caps and seals to check if rollers or not but they are a sealed bearing vs a bushing only. And with the size of them I have no worries about them.

 

Good to know man thanks for the reply. Very cool looking bike you turned it into.

 

Chaz got any money to spare.

Ok. Ya got me! LOL! I kept thinking about those damn brass bushings I kept having to put in every time I took it apart and re-assembled.... Sorry.

 

I want a black oem springer with new longer rockers too make it lower and set better

 

i like mine too. and i think it looks pretty good. the ride ain't bad either.

 

I wanna put a springer black front end on my 07 denim Train with a crossbones fat front wheel (16 I think). Not sure where to start but I think I will need a wider fork for that wheel. Hmmmmm

 

Don't believe it is any wider than the 140 on the front of my Train......
