Spring leaf front

[silent_soul]

Anybody ever build or use one? Ive been really digging the look of a spring leaf front end but curious if anybody has ever done this seen it done or know anybody that makes them for old gs's

building a leaf spring front for a GS would be a difficult thing, and likely pricey. I'll admit its cool, but I bet it rides like pure crap.

Theyre actually pretty easy to build and ride no different than the stock front end once setup properly. This is one of the better write ups on the process. My only dislike for these is the weight. A bit heavier than say an inverted springer.

Do a search for "the chopper handbook". good info there on building your own leafer.
