Ok Fellas I picked up an old narrow springer on a trade on craigslist, my research tells me it was made by a company called s.i.e. that existed back in the day in Oak Lawn here in IL. I plan on cutting it down to stock size to use on my 71 hard tail xs. The legs are square tube so chopping, slugging and welding shouldnt be too bad. My question is, how do You measure a springer?? Go from bottom of lower "tree" to the axle?? its 34.5", i want it 22" like stock. Im confused i guess with how wheel sits out a bit with the rockers....???? Any help is appreciated.
