springer front end help?
03/28/14 at 04:26:42
Hey just wondering what's the stock length of savage forks? Also what dna springer would most likely keep my ride height about the same with a 21" front wheel. It lists 2" under(20"), 22" stock( Harley?), or 2" over and so on. So if it's a 19" stock tire changed to a 21" I would gain 1" height in front? I think that's right it would be 1" all the way around on each side of the hub. So I guess I would want a springer that is stock length of savage forks and raise it 1" vs. lowering it 1" under savage forks if all they have is 2" increments. Also I am lacing my rear hub to 18" rim so this would raise the rear 1.5" right?
Also what is the width of the front forks and the size of the axle?
bear with me last question for the neck what is the stem length and size 7/8 or 1"?
Thanks in advance guys, oh I found a shop to hard tail my bike Cycle One Manufacturing right around $500 bucks. get it back in 6 weeks

Use a DNA or Harley axle and hub/hoop, the Savage front axle is a puny little 16mm. Too small for most aftermarket front ends, they are normally built to use an Evo Big Twin piece...
Switching from a 19 to a 21 doesn't change the overall height much. You lose a good bit of sidewall height, especially if you go with an 80/90-21 tire. Narrower tread, considerably shorter sidewall, resulting in far better handling.
Stock width is irrelevant, but, 9.75" at the fat part of the sliders.
Stock static length is roughly 20" from the bottom of the lower triple tree to the center of the axle.
Basically, you need a springer built for an Ironhead Sportster.

The following two sellers will set up one of their springers for a metric bike if you provide them with the measurements they need.
