i have an o4 raider, thinking about switching the front end over to a springer. are the triple tree’s raked 5 degrees ? or can i order a regular 10 over springer front end and it will work. one of the main reasons for the switch is everything chrome on the bike from pro-one is peeling terribly and looks terrible :angry: forks, trees, wheels, grips…… literally everything. I love my bike but extreemely bummed at pro-one
Unfortunately chrome dosnt stick as well on billet as it does on steel. Some bikes its minor others have done what yours is doing. The Front ends are 10″ over w/ 0 rake (springer) or 12″ over with 5 degree. There’s a coup[le of Vertebreakers in the gallery with spingers and a couple of Banshees they look great!
Also, do yourself a big favor and avoid the cheap Taiwan knock offs. I know it’s hard to resist the price but those things are garbage and UNSAFE!!! Paughco makes some good front ends that actually work.
i contacted a company called ” jeri’s springers ” to have one made. ever heard of the place ? any good or bad things about them ?
