Default Anyone running a springer front end?

I love the looks of the springer front end and would love to add one to my wish list of upgrades to my 88 Sporty. Any advice as I begin to look for my winter project?

Thanks,
Hawk

That does look good...

I think seeing it I would go with a +4 or +6 to get that front wheel out there a bit more.
