VL front end

[OWG]

Need to replace the worn out springs in my front end.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to compress them. Thanks

Pipe clamp or ratchet strap. Both will work. Compress, remove retainer nuts, slowly release the tension.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. They are removed, I meant compressing them for installation.

Same procedure in reverse....

Good heavy zip ties works well also. Hope this helps.....Smitty

Check out www.Ridingvintage.com they have an article on building a 1933 HD VL springer front end which is pretty good. Under the tech section ...Catch
