Springer front end...
So, I am set on a Springer front end for my 97 Sportster. Anyone have experience with these? I was looking at TC Bros site (got my mids from them, amazing product) Keep in mind, this is purely a cruising fun bike, not a commuter or a utility bike. I am leaning towards rigid rear as well, but not too sure on that one.
I was also wondering if any of you run a springer without a front brake.

I knew a guy who ran no front brake..he's dead now.
And like was said in another springer thread, on a dyna or sporty with exposed rear shocks, a springer will make you look like a little kid on a rocking horse. But, a springer sporty with no front brake in New York should get your juices flowing.

Not a week later, driving like a crazy 17 year old, I came upon a slow car in a turn in the mountains of WV. Hit my foot brake and nothing. I lane shared the double yellow line between two cars before I got off the road. The rear linkage to the back brake had vibrated loose and fallen.
You truely do not want to try that at home.
