Springer fork?

Hello guys. New owner of a xj 750 seca from 82 today. This is my second build and im planning on doing a bobber this time.
I would really like a springer fork and i was wondering if its possible with a universal one fro. Ebay or something

Or maybe some of you know of one?
Im from europe so this whole inches thing is confusing me a bit

Ill take any advice and tips that comes up

Cheers!

 

I went to a bike shop today to see if I could get one fitted to my bike and it works! We're not sure about clearance for bearings yet, but I'll be bringing just the frame back to see if we can make it work. There might be a possibility of some light machining if things don't quite fit.

 

Any idea what the dimensions were? Especially the width down by the wheel as i need the disc brakes to fit

 

It's pretty much a Harley conversion on the whole front end.

 

Well i live in a country where we are more limited on changes...not even sure if i can get springer forks on it legally

 

Du får registrera den i Sverige så blir det inga problem, synd att förstöra en trevlig cykel dock...

 

Yeah.

 

kan det lade sig gøre? at have bostand i danmark og så en motorcykel på svenske plader?

 

Sprechen sie auf English, bitte?

Danke,

Herr Dave Fox

 

Tror det, kan vara värt att kolla. Vet att det är lättare att få igenom ombyggda fordon här åtminstone.

 

Sorry MR Fox, it was easier to write in swedish.... Won't do it again Just told him he could register hos bike in Sweden instead as our regulations with modified bikes/cars are not as hard as in Danmark.

 

No delete post option!

 

if you know the width of the forks at triple tree you can figure the width at the wheel

 

Lol

 

Here's my Springer that I'm putting on.

 

But here's the problem with the bearings....

 

well i found a way to get the approval here where i am but its a costly risk. around 1200 dollars for a test at a motor office wich i might fail. so i might end up back at the drawing board...shame though

 

That wasn't cheap...:-( Can't you just ask them in advance if they will let it pass?

 

Nah man. First its a written inspection and then its a physical test with the fork im planning on buying. So all in all i risk around 2k for it :/

 

What if you buy one already done?

 

Sounds like it's not worth it...
