Springer Forks..

Hi folks..

Trying to identify these Springer Forks.. Believe they came of an old Pan FL, but not positive.. Any info you can give would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot..

Keith

springer- will become famous soon enough
That is an old style HD springer. Measure the stem. If it is 7/8" (.875") then it is a 45 style springer. If it measures 1" then it is a Big Twin style springer, most likely a knucklehead. If I am not mistaken the springer was only on 1 year of panheads 1948.

BTW, it looks to be in very nice condition, even though it was chromed.

Estimated value $1500-2000 USD on eBay
