Let me clarify...I would never seriously suggest it.

 

I had a Schwinn Sting Ray springer when I was a kid. It was fun to ride!!! Kinda like having a pogo stick attached to your front wheel!!!

 

Its all good! Honestly i think even if someone said they rode like sh$t i would still be interested in one cause i love the way they look!

 

X Bones was my first Harley. Bought it on the basis of looks alone. Must say that the Springer forks handle normally.

 

That's every 25,000 miles not 2,500.Mine handles great,can't have much of a front brake though do to the springer design.Pansys need not apply.

 

Maintenance on the fall away and greasing the bearings is every 2500 miles, but rocker maintenance in my manual says every 10,000. I love the way mine rides, especially slammed with a 17 in rear wheel and 16 inch front. 200 mm rear tire makes high speed cornering more difficult, but not a big deal.

That dosent sound bad! I can grease the bearings myself. Id probably learn how to do the other service things myself too! Sounds like just a matter of getting the tools? If i do trade my train in on a crossbones im looking at a 2011 sedona orange one. It looks sharp!

 

All I know about the newer ones are is everyone I know who has owned one has gone down on the bike or didn't ride near as much as they used to . My personal experience with them is dated to say the least mid 70's and I bucked two them on long *** choppers I had , they were squirrelly as hell on a good day for me .

 

mine seems to handle just fine, although lots of people tell me about the bad handling, or the expense of fixing, course those people never seem to ride springers?? its like when everyone tells me softails handle badly ??? I just ride away thinking compared to what?? because my springer softail seems just fine! but it does squeak sometimes.

 

I can help you get rid of that stoopid feeling you have. PM me and we'll arrange a way you can send me that springer front end so's you won't have to be reminded of your mistake everytime you look at it.

The only thing I ask is that you pay the shipping on it. Deal?
