springer

This is how I picked her up!

Hey there, I’ve got the forks mentioned in the title, but the calliper from Tc bro’s seems a little pricey (for Canadian) but I don’t know how to find out which other callipers work. Does anybody know any calipers which will work that might be a little cheaper?

After searching forum after forum , I found a lot of people saying to use the xs650 stock / replacement bearing races with the Harley 1" tapered bearings for a springer front end swap. I ordered those parts and found that it is incorrect. The bearing does not sit completely into the race ...

Hello folks, I've got me heart set on a nice set of TCBros front springer forks. the construction looks super solid from their video, and they come with lots of support in terms of calipers, bar mounts, and all that rigamarole. the trouble is, with all this corona quarantine happening i am...

My name is AR and I have been building this bike for a year now off and on with the help of this forum and the amazing people nice enough to respond to my past threads. Just wanted to share my progress on the build through this year. I had bought this bike from a garage completely stock only...

Hey guys I have currently read through all the threads regarding springers. I currently have a DNA 2" under narrow springer. I have bought 1" trailer bearings and stock xs650 racers. The only thing I know I need to do is to cut the stem nut down to match the TCbros kit (its almost half the...

Hey everyone! I'm thinking about changing my front end to a springer set up with a 21" spoked wheel with the mini break drum. Is there any suggestions on how to get the springer front end to fit the stock neck of a 1979/80 xs650SG model. Any suggestions would really help! Below is the front end...

I found a longer springer that is set up for a CB750 and wanted to swap it with my stock front end. My frame is raked and I think the steering stem is long enough, just wondering if anyone knew what I'm looking at bearing/race size wise to get everything to fit right! Thanks!

My custom chopper, 2+ years in the making. Started full stock all-original, barn find. The only thing 100% original left is the clutch lever. :-) 19" total stretch with hard-tail, gooseneck and 45-degree rake custom springer.

I have been fabricating a custom springer. Now that it's all assembled, I find that the shoulder bolts are barely, but actually, rubbing on the rotor. This means I have to mount the front wheel off-center (not!), find a smaller rotor, or change my springer design. Changing the springer design...

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...

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...

Ive been working on my bike for about 6mos and I'm almost done I just purchased a 4 under springer and Ive been trying to figure out how or if it will effect the trail. I haven't mounted it yet to check but before I did I just wanted to get some info from some pros about this particular...

Might be of interest to some people here. John Brain's How to on building springer forks. How-to I know he's building them for bicycles, but really there wouldn't be that much of a change for motorcycles.

My questiOn is will the stock xs rims fit it? Thats my first question Side note: what size are the stock xs rims and were the ever available with a rear disk brake?

Hey... my forks are wack and I want to replace with a springer. Anyone have any ideas or info on where I can find a springer that will fit? I have tried to find ring clips for my forks but no one seems to have a clue. All of the exploded views do not list the ring clip on the plunger so I am...

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...

Looking at the DNA 2 Under kit. Does this come with the triple tree? Would I then be looking at getting Harley bars? Thanks and a pic of it on your bike would be appreciated!

Hey everyone. What is involved in putting a dna springer front end on my 82? I just ordered new tapered steering head bearings. Since the tree was off i figured why not! Does the dna have an sae axle size? Hope there is not too much involved cause im pretty new to this!! Thanks ahead of...
