converting to a springer
i had planned on swapping out my front end this winter to a springer set up. i really don't know much about them but they look really neat.
i found some guy selling a springer front end made by toxic choppers, i've never heard of them i wanted to know if anyone else has and if they make quality products.
_______
Custom Toxic Choppers Springer front end for sale
2" Over stock, 1" neck, 38 degree rake Wide Glide
Over $1800 Invested
Never Used,
Only for mock up purposes
________
those are the specs for the front end, is it going to fit on my 91 softail? i have heard of rake but i'm not really sure what the hell it means and 2" over stock, is that going to jack the front of my bike up? i would hate that.
here's a picture of my bike and the springer. the price is right but i'll pass if it's not going to work.

It would probably work, but will be 2 inches longer up front. Which in turn, I suppose, would make the front end sit 2 inches higher. I have heard good things about Paughco springers.........
Nice looking bike!

There's no need to go with a smaller wheel. You're increasing your rake so you need longer forks to compensate.
