Fourches Springer Bates Classic Chopper
Distinctive look of the classic Springer fork for custom projects with a choice of standard length to radical Swedish style. With forged stanchions and connecting pieces.
Length is measured from axle center line to seat of lower steering head bearing.
Unlike the original replacement versions, there is no mudguard mount on the lower bridge., Due to the trail geometry, versions with an extra length of 8 inches or more have an adjusted positive rake offset of +3°., To ensure that the 16“ and 20” forks retain their spring action, they are supplied with special, slightly extended rockers. These are also drilled for 19 mm axles for use with custom wheels and brakes., Fork stem with two Ø1” bearing seats for the use of 1949-up tapered roller bearings without any modifications,
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 beariings. The builder has to consider rake, trail, overall chassis geometry, brake function, etc.
