I guess I have to go pay more attention. I got all excited and forgot to finish looking at pictures and read. No biggie
Get me one Tom
Can you cancel the link order? I know there is a return policy. I feel like a total $hit about this.
By the way, you did get a good deal on a ten footer.

I can contact the seller, I’m not real worried about it.. I should’ve been paying more attention

You can keep it as extra parts. Hey I found I needed some stuff save for 1/4 century. You can also use it later when first chain is used and is worn. Compare old to new to see how much stretched and if time to replace. You'll have the chain in hand already.
Stay away from that springer for its garbage.
flimsy as a noodle.
this one is way better, I can vouch for it almost 300 miles and no issues and it had a bracket to mount a disc brake.
Here is the Corvid 19 with the forks.
Attachments
for sure, I will probably just hang onto them
appreciate the input.
i’m gonna put it on the bike and obtain the highest speed I can by peddling to see how it handles in a corner. I’m more than certain I’m going to agree with you after I ride it but I want to see.
I like the one that you posted.
Thanks again
Thanks for confirming what is already posted loop. Most springer forks increase wheel base and trail. Danny will soon enough find out how exciting a Cranbrook can feel. It ain't a Harley, and it will thrill. My Huffy Davidson is the first machine that I, having imbibed feared for my safety.

Hi Danny,
Just caught up with you thread. I think your safe as far as web crawlers are concerned. Years ago there were lots of them here but they were weeded out quickly and it's pretty mellow now.
The fork you bought is down right dangerous. I've been here since 2009 and over the years there have been some might graphic photos of different rider who had them snap in two. The degree of injuries were in direct relation to whether the rider was peddling or under power.
I just looked this fork up. The price has gone up $60 but may give you a chance to make an Indian style springer fork. Rick, Tom or Curt will have a better idea if it's a good choice.
Like your build. It's going to be a fun one.

On a side not those Indian BTR replica forks are awesome. I may have to jump on those after I look at my finances.
thanks again, appreciate everyone’s input
I started a return on the springer forks. Can get all by $5.47 back.
contacting the eBay seller of the replica forks to find out head/steerer size. I like those forks.

Take a look at original Monark compared to yours
I haven’t read that the monarchs are much better. Have you used one of those?
From back in the 50"s lucky to find one, and no haven't used it yet. Also the original Schwinn were a lot heavier, but again to find one. I did however have a Monark twin spring on a factory Monark motor bike back in the 50"s and loved it, but was 16 at the time when details were not important. The fork Loop showed is a lot heavier and would be the better choice, much more stable the the springe, and then the old Monark fork, as I have one of them also. Member Motomegs has used the one like loop showed and likes it well. I used the Monark type rockers on the leaf spring Indian type fork I made and worked good. Just save your springer for pedal bike, like me I rider everyday, on my pedal bike when nice out............Curt
Or the one Loop showed 40's 50's is going to coast you more probably and to find one, just like the leaf spring fork I built has to have a old slandered fork from back in the 50's, just to hard to come by ............Curt
