Description

These Classic Inline Springer Front Fork work well for Lowrider projects. They are 2” shorter than the stock versions and will let your lowered bike sit properly.

• all brackets for brake anchor, front fender and ride control are there and just like stock.
• fork stem works with the included centering collar for 1936-up ball bearings and also features two 1” bearing seats for the use of 1949-up tapered bearings without any modifications. They are not drilled for the 1948-up steering head lock.
• fits Big Twins
• internal thread of neck post: 3 4”-14 UNS
• steel, black, powder-coated, black springs
• length: 43.5 cm  (Length is measured from axle center line to seat of lower steering head bearing)
• rake: 0 °
• length over under stock: -2 ”
• includes material certification

• NOTE: Although these Custom forks are intended for 1936-1957 rigid frame Big Twins they can be mounted with later frames, too, provided you have install matching frame head bearings. The builder has to consider rake, trail, overall chassis geometry, brake function, etc.

  NOTE: The pivot point of the brake shackle on the backing plate or caliper bracket must not be positioned vertically above or in front of the wheel axle (driving direction). In this case the moving forces in your fork parallelogram will be reversed and the fork will rebound instead of being compressed when you apply the brake. This will generate very high forces to impact on your rigid fork leg with possible damage.

  NOTE: Caliper bracket or drum brake backing plate must float on the wheel axle. If not, the fork will rebound as well when applying the brake. Result: see above

  NOTE: This springer will NOT fit Harley-Davidson Dyna models, or 2004 & later Sportster models due to the design of the frame neck and turning radius issues.
