    Question Vintage Style forks on '99 WC1 ???

    I would like to change over my front forks to old style "springer" forks on my '99 WC1. Does someone make a kit for this or do I have to hunt down a bunch of old parts and manufacture the rest? Has anyone done this? If so, how much was involved. Thanks.

    All you need to make the change is a Springer fork with a long enough steerer tube.

    Default Forkin around!

    Hi well Oscully is right, your bearing set is standard 22.2 cruiser bike type, so ANY fork with a steerer that is designed for the 22.2 bearings will work, as long as you consider the TOTAL lenght needed to be able to screw the top cone, and the top nut on the bearing set.
