i dont know if it will fit but here is the cheapest your gonna find http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-OVER-BLACK-SPRINGER-FRONT-END-NECK-BEARINGS... PageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and they are the same as the DNA springers which are of good quality. if you can change the stem it shouldn't be hard to adapt. i know it says 18 over but they have alot of other sizes as well.

I came across this on another board:

"Thump! Springer forks?

hey there is a company here in little rock Arkansas that specializes in Suzuki motorcycles!!!

It is called Drifters, also the name of their club.

Big John told me that they custom makes springer front ends for suzukis and he can get about anything else.

The phone number is 501-888-7801"

I have never dealt with them and no nothing about them but it's a lead.

Good Luck

The easiest and probably cheapest way to do this. measure the forks from bottom off the steer tube (unsure of name). Then find a springer the length you want, buy the springer, have bearings made, you may have to have the steer tube of the springer shortened and rethreaded. ( machine shop can do this.) I know it sounds like a lot of work but a full custom springer can upwards off 2 grand. So all the work needed to convert the American for Metric would be no more than 2 bills.

But thats just what I would do.

This looks like a standard 45/UL/knuckle/ Harley springer front end to me from the springer,horn,brakes and all. Very familiar indeed. I am sure there will be some machining, standard to metric. I am new to Suzuki, so I'm not sure of the angle degree of the neck.

Look around at 45parts depot, or flatland I think they are now. Also resurrection cycle works has a lot of the stuff. Steve is a great guy. I am pretty sure that it is a 45 springer.

If you don't measure it, it won't get done. If you don't measure right, it won't get done right.

With any luck I will win and I will have a springer for at most $165.00. I already know I will need some mods to get it to fit on the FireLizard.
