GB, did get to anything with it, so far?

Nope, I have not done anything with mine so far.

What Troll said... I think they are covers, not actual springs.

That LOOKs  like an idea that I currently have for my 800....  but have not started yet.  I want to replace the upper fork cover with a fake spring --  or wrap the upper cover with said spring-- haven't decided yet.   So I don't know anything about that bike, but looks like what I want to do .

I believe they are just covers made for H-D
https://www.jpcycles.com/product/125-953/arlen-ness-retro-chrome-fork-boot-covers   Seems to me there were a lot of those kind of things around about 15 years ago. New covers to make your blockhead look like a knuckle...stuff like that...

We need to figure out what to call them because I did a fork spring search and of course it brings up inside springs.

Tried this and came up with interior fork springs too. "Motorcycle ornamental exterior fork springs"

That's what I did, too, with same results...
And that's why I wrote this post, hopin' that some of you Gurus can help me out.

Hi guys.
Lately I came across this nice Drifter (look at pic).
I'd like to add those upper fork springs to ma-deuce.
Does anybody know where to look for?
Thanx and Merry Xmas!
