I'll wager a brew or two, M.A.D.,...

They used OEM-design springs,

And inners would fit, too.

Ya, i owe you a Schlitz Cotten. Probably would be able to generic a lot of the springer parts since everyone and their brother was making them back then & even currently.

More than one of those companies were forced to cease production because there springers were considered unsafe

Which brings us full circle, Folks,...

To the loose nut on the handlebars.

Cotton,I don't remember but there is a guy in AMA Hall of Fame that investigated & forced them to stop making them.

Consider the irony, Duffey!

Most Famers were racers.

I'd love to see a statistical analysis of race injuries compared to springers. (Injuries per mile should seal it.)

Don't get me wrong, I'd never ride one, but everybody's got an equal right to chase the Darwin award.

Cotten I am not all that fond of choppers myself. Here is the bike that cemented my love for Knuckleheads and my dislike for choppers. 1940 EL - 74 inch top and 61 inch bottom - circa 1979 in northern Wisconsin heading to International Fall, Minnesota. So many things in this picture that is NOT me today. 1940 EL chopper.jpg

I rode a few hard tails when I was younger. If your but is coming off the seat it's not the front end, it's because of no suspension on the rear end. Enjoy the nostalgia!
