Inline vs. Offset
Classic Springer Forks are produced for different frame rakes.
- In the beginning, both the main tubes and the steering stem were in the same plane. This is called "inline". The rake is 0°. Of this type were all 45” Springer forks 1936-1957 and all Big Twin forks 1936-1945.
- From 1946 onwards the Big Twins had the neck angle increased to 30°. To maintain fork inclination and ground clearance, the steering stem was tilted to the rear by 3°. We call these forks Offset -3°, they were stock on 1946-1948 Big Twins.
- When building a bike with ≥+8” extra long forks you don’t want the steering neck so high and inclined that the bike is difficult to steer. Therefore such forks are manufactured with a positive rake, i.e. the steering stem is inclined to the front by 3°. We call these forks Offset +3°.
The sketch shows the placement of the lateral tubes and steering stem seen from the drivers place. Now it is clear, too, why there have to be three different types of top trees or handlebars for Classich Springer forks.

Mack Hellings was a midget car driver from the USA, and his oversized handlebar moustache was his unmistakable trademark. It’s only logical that this moustache later became the logo of the company he was involved in: Stelling & Hellings. Primarily a manufacturer and supplier of Hot Rod parts in the 1940s and 1950s, they also offered parts for fast Harleys — including risers like the inward-angled ones shown here, which were mounted on springer forks together with a special top yoke. This made it possible to install aftermarket handlebars that didn’t have the integrated cast triple tree....
