Anyone know of a machine shop that could make some oval slugs like Buchanan Frame Shop used to sell to extend stock springers (or have a set of Buchanan slugs laying around they'd sell)?

How about an already extended springer? Is 12.5" over good for you?

 

[Larry T]

Dragon, I haven't seen them. I'd appreciate any information you have.

Harpoon, Thanks, but I have a 12" over 74, a 18" over 45, and a 22" over (full length Ford radius rod extension) springer. I'm gonna take a couple of roached out rear legs and try to build a shorter one, somewhere aroound 4/6" over. I'm kinda gathering up parts for a semi clone of my first bike, the white knucklehead I built in 1969. I've got a 1938 basket case to start with.

Buchanan was one of the premier shops in the 60's/70's. They're still a top name in the wheel business today, but they don't do frame and springer modification now. If you had one of their springers or had them rake your frame, then you had the BEST. They made oval slugs in different lengths, cut the rear legs of the springers, and welded them in. I never heard of a failure, but who knows. It's a whole different setup than screw in slugs for fork legs.

[yard man]

have you thought of doing it the other way with ford radius rods? It seems a little safer then slugs. But i dont know for sure.
