Default Springer front end on my 72???



I grew up loving the springer front ends and now that I have my bike I would like to get one put on it. Anyone done this on there 72 or have any suggestions on how to proceed with it. I don't want anything really far stretched out, I just want that look. Any pro's or con's on brands would be helpful as well. Thanks.

Thanks, I have been looking into the Paughco. It seems to be one of the better brands but they are very steep in price, one I priced for it was almost $2000 and I bought the bike used for $6000.

One reason to save money on the bike is to save it for mods. Springer front end is no joke and quality counts. $2k for the Paughco would not be wasted if you're heart is set on swapping. There are other good springers out there, just saying I wouldn't rule one out just because its a little spendier up front. If its "right" you'll enjoy it better and it'll handle better. Worth the $$ for that kind of result.

Yeah this is what I'm thinking as well, just need to shut up, suck it up, and spend the money for something I wont look at in the future and maybe regret.
