Old springer tech....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here we go , Hopefully with a thread title like that this can be a section for tech questions and answers on old springer front ends...
I just unpacked an older ( probably 70s) springer front end that I intend to use on an XS650 my questions are ...
1) The legs are clamped in with hex head bolts...should I have the legs welded to the trees instead?
2) those crazy blade rockers are they any good or should I invest in new rockers? and who makes em ?
3)the inner portion of the trees is flat can I use the stock XS650 bearings etc
4)anything else I should know?
