Title: Springer front fork ?
Post by mpescatori on 09/21/05 at 08:53:11

I have just bought my 1988 Savage :D (still have to collect it actually, it'll be a good 500 mile ride :o... hope it won't rain :-[) and one thing I've often daydreamed about is a "springer" type front fork. I assume HD springer forks from modern bikes can be horribly expensive, so what about alternatives?

Some dude in a recent copy of RoadBike had a spring on his savage...

Thanks, any chance to have an IP address or just upload a pic? They don't sell that mag this side of the ocean... 8)

I'd love to see how a "springer" front-end looks on a Savage too!!

I'll have to scan it... This may take a while... I'll try to do it soon, though... :)

BTW, Roadbike is a lousy magazine, IMO, though there are usually some good sections... They are all about the $30 - $50k bling-bling metric "choppers." bleh ::)

Did a search and came up with this thread...

Has anyone done any research on if/how/what kind of springer or alternative front end can be abused onto the front of a Savage?

www.jeris-springer.com

Looked at this site...seems they could make a custom one. I bet it would cost an arm and a leg though!
