Southernfried, I have that same springer, but with twisted front legs, and longer. The rockers are the same, top tree is the same, springs, and the spring shafts are the same... Never been able to figure out what it was, but I doubt it is a homebrew. If I can get some pics I will post em.

TodoMotoSalty · 05-12-2011, 12:54 PM

So quick question. If the rear legs are round on the outside and flat on the inside it's a D&D/Paughco???

SpeedRcr · 05-13-2011, 08:30 AM

Ok here is one for everybody - no markes, numbers or any sort of ID on it that I can find.
The mounting of the rockers is different than anything else I have been able to find...
I was told that this came off an old Honda Chopper...

Johnny-5 · 05-24-2011, 03:09 PM

Can someone ID this springer for me? Sorry this is the only two pictures I currently have.

ob1quixote · 06-08-2011, 10:02 PM

Hmmm, wonder if this is special?

jbfrmca · 06-09-2011, 12:17 AM

Thanks bud! Looks like it might be kinda special, not sure it is $300 worth of special though!

Sugar Bear · 06-09-2011, 01:06 PM

ob1 .... Randy springer .... long gone

ob1quixote · 06-09-2011, 05:47 PM

Thanks SB! I decided to pass on it, but handed it off to a buddy with a sweet lil Triumph bobber it would look pretty sweet on!

abeblinkin · 07-01-2011, 03:23 PM

Need some help!! ID

No idea, No markings, looks well built (I think). 1-1/8" stem square front legs. Narrow as all get out. Also, can anybody fill me in on how the top clamp would have looked? Thanks

Zeeman · 07-01-2011, 11:03 PM

Looks similar to a Fury, but with modified rockers, and square front legs.

See Hardtime's pics earlier in this thread for how the top clamp looks.

calgbob · 07-03-2011, 12:29 AM

Carbineken...that's a Butts Mfg springer. A quick search will bring up a couple more threads with Butts springers.

yeah I agree the rockers look fury, but the end of the legs are different as well as the front legs being square. I think the legs are solid? what does a 1-1/8 stem come from?

Harley VL for one.

SpeedAndNoise · 07-04-2011, 02:13 AM

I remember El Shanebo posting one like this a while back but I don't think it was ever ID'd. So here's another shot. It has a 1" stem, a 17mm axle that looks like it's from a Kawasaki KZ, and rockers that look like Harley with different front sections welded on. I was told it was off an VW trike and came with what looked like a KZ wheel.

Scavenger · 07-04-2011, 08:19 AM

Speed yours looks like an old Amen. S.I.E also made a similar one
