Ironhead Chopper

I was heading to K-mart to buy my grandson (only 46) a swing set. I came over a hill and bam this Ironhead Sportster Chopper hit me like a ton of bricks. I had to stop and look at it, sit on it and even hear it, fell in love at that moment. Went home talked to the wife on more then one occasion and finally after calling the builder a thousand times to see if its still available and finally my wife got pissed. I got it and freak'n love it. The Harley Davidson Ironhead picture you see is when I first got it 2.5 years ago. I changed it a little and took off the 133 and put off white lettering on the tank (IRONHEAD) and 75HD on the oil tank. I am kicking around the idea of putting a springer front end. houghts? or lOeave as it.

Girders, girders, girders

Springers are good but girder forks are not only the best from an engineering perspective but also from a design perspective. I love how they taper down to the front axel without the "stringer" mechanics in the way. Far more "old school" than the springer but to each their own.

SPRINGER
by: Anonymous

I ride springers and love them. All my buddies bitch about them. They may be an aquired taste, but I am also working on a bobber with a springer front. They are a little heavier in the front and steer a little harder. In my opion they hold the road better because they are a little heavier. It's all your taste, budget, and if you like the look. Have fun, Great bike.
