HELP. What front end do I have?

[shadowrider69]

Does anyone know anything about this front-end? I need springs for it. I've measured them, but the top I'm sure is not suppose to have all those nuts and stuff. It is all over the road when you turn, its missing springs I know.

That is an old girder style front end hard to say who made them. They are still available today mostly used on custom choppers. Looks like someone used the nuts to compensate for the springs weakening or it just has the wrong springs on.

That's a old style springer and it looks like somebody has put all thread in it ,not the right way.You can go on ebay type in springer and should be able to find some . Those springs have to be set right when you go back together. hope this helps

Shadowrider,
I told you what the problem was already and where to get the parts to fix it, but guess you need other advice on your old springer, so good luck with it, I like it when some think it is a girder, lolllll
Have a great weekend.

Yeah I looked at those, the measurements were different, thats why I posted it here. But now that I know the rods and springs might be wrong I can start from there.

No problem, good luck with it.
