Default Springer Front End?

Waddya think? Was also thinking of a springer front end on my Nightster.



Personally I think it would look pretty sharp.

I've always liked the Springers, but I'm not sure how it would like on the smaller, shorter wheel based Sportsters.

Be interesting to see one installed.

Here is a 2006 Softail Springer owned by a friend, and I think the front end looks great....

Damn, that looks really good.....

Gives the bike a completely different look, and the rest of the bike 'blends in' real well with the Springer look........

it does look cool, but upon inspection you see it has a bobber fender. But how would a completely stock sportster look with springers? i think it would be pretty different.
