Springer...

Anyone know where to get a springer front end for a metric bike? - Suzuki Intruder.

Have you checked ebay? I know they have some for my sporty for cheap.. $400 If I remember right.

Build your own!

Problem is , The HD steering stem is 1'' and the Suzuki stem is metric, and tapered... 30mm at the bottom and 25mm at the top "if I'm not mistaken"

West Eagle has metrics with springers all over its catalog. Seems like they are super expensive in general though. Aluminum sporty tank..$2300..For example.

Anyway..

We use different front ends on projects a lot...you can use whatever front end you like and install it with different bearings, just measure the stem of the front end you would like to use for the inner bearing race size and your neck of the frame for the outer bearing race size and get your bearings accordingly to the sizes you need. check locally for a bearing shop as most towns have one but they are a little pricey sometimes but ebay has them really inexpensively if you like to ebay!

Hey beard we need to get one of those aluminum sporty tanks and polish it to chrome! SWEET!!!

I have been wanting to get an aluminum tank and polish it out to a bright shine, then mask it off and media blast scallops on the front of it....I think it would look killer, then hand pin stripe the transition line!

Damn that would be awesome Twisted! man I wished we lived closer to each other bro!

Twisted you are full of creative ideas.

I still would not pay $1300 for a tank unless it came with a bike to go with it.

We should build one...wouldn't cost much!

I agree Weirdbeard, too high.
