I swapped the entire front end front wheel and all for a Girder front end.

What I've been thinkin' is this.Almost,or all new springers are for Harley(somebody makes one to spec but it aint cheap.Can't rememeber who off hand)Probably use a Harley front wheel,brake,etc.Then the only thing would be the steering stem diameter,and length.Harley has a 1" dia. stem.They usually thread into the bottom tree.I had a stem made for a springer I'm putting on a Honda.They cut the threads to screw into the springer,machined the rest to the Honda specs.The machine shop I used was at home(in Ohio)I had to wait 'til he had time.but he only charged me around 50 bucks.
