If you are doing it on a scooter, I would think that it was doable. But man that is a lot of rough riding. You might need to spring for one of dem fancy suspension front ends like dem other playboys have lol.

joe last year my hands would go numb from the vibration. i added the springer front end and you would not believe how much vibration it took out of it. i did around 30 miles yesturday messing around after work and vibration was very little unless i went full throttle and even then it was no where near as bad as when i had the solid front end. other thing i noticed was when i go over the railroad crossing i used to have to stand up because it bashed the heck out of me. now it pretty much glides over them. the tension on the spring i have set so with my weight it is just off the mount so maybe a little soft but that makes it glide nicely

Cruiser the Springer front end you are talking about, could I add this to my bike? Will this Springer front end fit any bike? How complicated would it be?

yes you can get for any bike. i got mine at the bike shop and was quite easy to install. took me more time to get the stupid sticker of it then to put the springer on. the springer only cost like $50.00 and was worth every penny. i know my shop offered to install it for only like 25.00. it makes it a brand new motorized bicycle. the comfort is worth every penny and knowing what i know no i would have no problem spending more for one
