    Man, where DID I get the springer fork? I think I'll have to see if I printed off the receipt on that one. I know the threaded stem tube on most aftermarket forks will be one inch diameter and they'll work for the Huntington. But the head tube on a Huntington is shorter than most. And the angle of the spring mount on a springer fork (the part that bolts the back of the spring to the stem tube) won't allow for a much shorter head tube. You'll need to add a piece of steel tubing as a spacer on the threaded stem tube of the fork, either above or below the head tube.

    Hello Buttafinguz. I'll tell you all I can. I managed to save my white walls, but only after slight scuffing while I brainstormed. You may need to try all of these: make sure your rear wheel is absolutely true & does not wobble as it spins on its hub, make sure you mount it straight in line with the frame - not canted in any way; if using the chain tensioner you should twist the upper part of its bracket in a vice - so that the guide wheel is aligned with the chain rather than parallel to the chainstay - then mount it in a good place as firmly as possible and watch it close. I used a hub-mounted adapter for my drive sprocket rather than the rag thing. And I slid it in and out on the hub, finding the best spot for it, then cranked it down. And I carefully bent the brake arm to adapt to its new position and not rub on the hole of the sprocket.
    A Huntington's tires are BIG, so still no guarantees. I wish you much luck. The Huntington's a beast of a bike, but it can be tamed.
