i have been thinking of this guy,he has a builders kit,that sounds pretty awesome http://www.parkscustomspringers.com/

I do a kit for a springer. Guess you would call it a builders kit. back legs are 1.5x.250 wall dom and front legs are 1.250x.125 DOM

Heres a pic of the flat stock (have now but not quite done machining) and the front end finished on my 900 project.

Hey Al,

Did you ever see my ron finch springer with the springs mounted under the bottom tree instead of on top......

Or do you want a fancy "new" one......

Since we're on the subject... Does anyone know of a place I can pick up a reproduction early (1930s era) Norton/BSA/Triumph Girder... That Kansas Customs one looks pretty close but I like the ones with the large main spring and two smaller springs out front...

I am sure I have but the picture is not in my head right now.....is it for sale, or are you just teasing me.

I am not at all set on a new one......but all I find for sale is the same old stuff.....very few interesting things.....

do you like that Kansas one?

Hey thanks. Yeah I saw that one on there. It is exactly what I am looking for.. The problem is I think it would cost another 1,000 or so to restore and make it work...

I figured I would see if I could find a reproduction (or NOS one) before I went down that road.

Not under $1K, but the best IMHO... Fred's Frames.

Yeah, I like the kansas one......And yes the finch is for sale......we cut 4 inches off the bottom and jerry bored the tubing so we can smash it flat in the press and weld it up at the bottom.....for the axleholes.....

About how long is it?

I think we got it pretty close to a stock length, about an inch longer.....to give us some room to get the ends right.
