Default SCORE got a new frontend

While searching craigslist the other day I saw an add for a dragon slayer front end. I called the guy and got to talking with him .He was going to sell it because his chopper dream just wasn't going to happen. He wanted to buy a four wheeler for his granddaughter. Well talk about luck I bought my daughter a Chinese four wheeler about a year and a half ago and she rode it 5 or 6 times. She just wasn't into it. . I drove 2 hours one way and we traded.heres a pic of the front end It is very long at the moment. But with a friend like chuck - TX_outlaw. I knew that the front end was modular and all you have to do is disassemble and cut it down. Thanks Chuck for the inspiration. Its funny how we started on the wrong foot and now your my inspiration in building my bike. And what I consider a friend.

Awwwww........ I feel goosebumps from the love...... Just messin with ya! It was good chattin with ya yesterday. The triple trees and springer clamp are different on that one than mine, but everything else looks the same - 'cept ALLLLL that shiney stuff...... LOL! Great score man!

If ya need anything, hollar! You got my number. You're going to love that frontend!!

If you haven't torn into it yet, reach into the slot of the clamps with a long skinny screwdriver to help pop those spikes loose. There are 2 o-rings on each one to keep them installed and not rattling. American Suspension has the complete pdf file for install and set-up.
