Ive seen people with spingers on this bike (macargi huntington)and bike berry told me the one they sent should have worked. When I tried to slide the fork through thte neck of the bike it would fit through. Seemed too wide. Arent these standard? Just wondering if I could have done something wrong before I sent it back and lose my $15 on shipping. It's a greenline-heavy duty.
Seems like its long enough if it would just go through the neck....(AAHHHHH!)

Measure the outside diameter of your original fork, steer tube. The standard measurements are 1" and 1 and 1/8". I suspect your old fork was a 1" and the new one is 1 and 1/8". They aren't compatible.

Sounds like you would need to order part # 511500 / steering tube & swap out the 1 1/8" one. This would be simple to do, or you could send the one back if they don't charge a re-stocking fee, & shipping. See either way you'll spend something to fix the situation. Hope this helps, Also if sometime later on another build you could swap it back if needed a 1 1/8" . dnut
