- October 05, 2019, 14:42:57 PMI've seen this bike before and was also so struck by the idea that I started thinking of how to do something similar.
My only thought so far has been to find an actual spring of the correct diameter, and slide it onto the fork uppers fully compressed (or not, depending on the look you want). Very similar to that Bonanza bike build.
Obviously a soft spring would make this easier...heck a Slinkie would probably work if it was the right width...

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

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 .

- December 24, 2018, 13:18:21 PMI 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...

- December 24, 2018, 08:44:15 AMQuote from: Tfrank59 on December 23, 2018, 21:50:25 PMTried this and came up with interior fork springs too. "Motorcycle ornamental exterior fork springs"We need to figure out what to call them because I did a fork spring search and of course it brings up inside 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.
