I love you dedication to the springer front end. Everyone says they know someone running one but I never see pics...

I have a 48 and would love to run a springer too...

hey hf48-- i am looking for a thread i found last night-a member just got his LS springer..
and also i wanted to let you know i looked at some of the caliper set-ups from perf. machine and i think the correct one would be the 4 piston springer one-- not the 2 piston... i plan on calling them monday and will post the answer if anyone else is interested or pm you--and it looks like i am going to be the guinea pig for the twisted chopper springer---i will come back here and link the thread to the springer hardtail project when i find it...
EDIT: here it is....
not a rubbermount but he does have the led sled springer--

I know this is a springer thread but when ppl say fork tubes,They aint talking springer.Im talking DNA wideglide like the one i have now,and i rebuilt the lowers less than a week ago on these before the next test run the take offsthe new partsthe finished tubes n legs DNA lowers ARE NOT SAFE.I have rebuilt and seen more of these rebuilt than any other front end,Check other forums for DNA results.Find a site that acceptes returns on DNA front ends,with or without mounting.I`ll give ten dollars.

I don't have a springer but have a ledsled hardtail,fender and oil tank. If Pat is making his own springers they are more than likely better then DNA otherwise, he wouldn't be making them.

I dont doubt it, A customized honda front end on a harley beats DNA,It dont take much.

i don't know about springer , but me personally don't like the hard tail from LS ,not talking about quality all my respect from the ledsled's crew, but if compare kk and led sled one next to the other you'll see the difference between them

Any body who ever bought pipes from could see there shitty work worst welds I've ever seen sloppy tig work pipes weren't even aligned correctly and there idea of a bung is a nut mig welded in an over sized hole and only "coated" the seen areas where the wrap wasn't after seeing that doesn't show me the care about the work nor are professional at what the do just butchers taking your money

My friend was runnin a dna springer on his shovel we were on a ride and one of the legs broke on him ended up ordering a led sled front end the work was top notch and it performed lightyears ahead of the dna piece !!!
