Been a long time getting to this point.......didn't want to proceed if I couldn't get the stance right. Backbone lengthened an inch, rake increased a bit, hard tail widened and stretched. Wheelbase is 65". Still have to connect the front legs to the head tube. Harley knock-off 84-99 40-spoke...

I've noticed that most of the hairpin seat springs for sale on the web are wound in the same direction, a small thing maybe, but two of them under a seat look a little lopsided to me. Saw an old post here that mentioned "mirror-wound" hairpins which I assume means that a matched pair are wound...

Considering a Sportster front end on my xs and seem to remember reading here that the stem on '04-up Sportster trees is slightly longer than earlier models and that no stem swap is necessary to fit an xs neck. True? A link to that thread would be helpful. Searching produced nothing.

Anyone with a DNA springer: I need measurements (center-to-center) between the three holes in the rocker. Hard to find one out here in the sticks to measure for myself. Thanks for any help.

This is interesting: A leafer front end made from a DNA springer. Farmer from ND had some ideas for a bike; bike shop told him "you can't do that"; he did it anyway. Photo was taken at the Donnie Smith bike show in St. Paul. Most leaf spring front ends attach the wheel axle at the rear of...

Snooped around a bit here and on bearing manufacturers' websites for any info on this....no luck, so I'll just ask to save time: Are there bearings available that would allow a 3/4" axle to be used with a metric wheel hub? Suppose bushings are a possibility also. Thanks for any help.

Saw this on another site. The frame set-up is the same as mine. Not crazy about the color scheme, but the tank is what caught my eye. Just the right length, width, and profile. Anyone know what it is? Is it stock from some other bike? Modified? I haven't seen anything like it available online...

Looking at profile photos of both stock and springer front ends it appears that installing a springer might increase the wheelbase by an inch +/- (over stock). True or not? Let's say it's a DNA springer since that seems to be used the most. Thanks for any input. Had my '80 for four years...
