    I am in Los Angeles California and found your primer to re-assembly simple, clear and to the point as it should be.It is an excellent educational video.Thank you.

    Awesome video. Just got a 98 Springer. I like what you did to custom the fork. And my garage looks just like yours. Nothing fancy, but it works.
    Thanks for taking the time to do this. Doug Fresh from Nebraska, USA.

    Thanks for the best springer video on UA-cam. You made it very easy to work on my 98 heritage springer.

    This was a great video. I am considering getting a springer as my first HD. This helped me get comfortable with the mechanics of this crazy old design.

      +Bruno Bronosky glad you liked it man! Not a performance fork but if you were into performance you wouldn't be going for a Harley after all 🤣

      Custom Cez Fai Da Te my first and current bike is a KLR650. After 4 years of riding with others I realize that the amount of dirt and gravel I want to do with a bike that heavy can be done by any bike. I'm into chillin out, having fun, and doing my own maintenance. I hear the 89-99 Evo is perfect for that. Would you agree?

    @RIPbiker13 11 років тому +1

    Best explanation of fall away I have ever seen! I love the demonstration you made. I was hoping you'd go into detail on setting the tension on the rocker bearings, but you didn't. Maybe you could touch on that some time? Like the last video, very well done. Thank you so much for making this series.

    great vid. i am reassembling and mounting my stock springer onto a 83 shovel. sorry, but i found the graphic annoying as well, it's very jarring because of the volume. i'm doing my homework because my springer has been on the shelf for a couple years. i'd like to see the rocker torque info too. you're a natural m.c. and teacher, keep up the good work.

    would have been good if you got more into depth on the rocker bearing torque settings for both the bearing retainer/jam nut and the arch setting. Awesome video guys. My 2007 CVO Springer has 150,000 kms on it and now I just want to learn everything about these remarkable front ends.

    Do you have a video on how to realign my springer front end? I have a '05 Springer Softail and the handlebars/ steering are a little askew.

    • @CustomCez
      @CustomCez  9 років тому +2

      Jon Grattan sorry man, this is it on the subject. You can align the rear wheel cause it has the regulation bolts, but not the front. If it's askew is ether because the forks are bent or because the risers/handlebar assembly has not been done properly. Try taking those apart and put them back together the best you can ans see if it's any better, otherwise u might have to take down the forks and see if they are straight. Hope this helps

      Excellent video , best one on the topic without searching deeper.
      The. Overuse of the cleverly done animation inserts .are abit repititios and intrusive to the focal point of topic.
      Also when showing a special tool or home handmade .If perhaps remove an animation in favor of a pause with photo emphasis for say 15 to 30 sec pause or at the end of the video show tools and or special parts
      Would b extremely useful thank you for your videos.

    Thanks so much for sharing this, really helpful. Can you share your experience about the design of the water gaurd and the 1) weight. specifically on the rocker arm. It looks like it will be too heavy snap off into the spokes. 2) the wind speed on it? Wow thank you for sharing your great experience. :D

    Hello. Is the Springer Suspension, on that bike, a OEM part? Talking about non OEM parts, do you know of any brands making really good (quality and looking) Springer Forks for Harley Davidson? I have seen some I wouldn’t put on my bike but was just wondering. Note, I would rather OEM but was just wondering.

    ciao, scusi. How much does the complete fork cost? I would want to assembly on a AME frame XS 650 Yamaha. Is it possible? Which sizes do I need to find out, to know if it fits?I used to live in my childhood in Varese. Italy ;). Greetings from Germany

    • @CustomCez
      @CustomCez  9 років тому

      +Jason Diamant Ciao Jason, i think a springer fork will cost about 1000 or 1500E. Everything is possible :) it's not going to be easy though. You'll have to match the bearings to fit both the neck and the fork. I think it will be a wonderful build! Good luck to you man!

    • @CustomCez
      @CustomCez  10 років тому +1

      julian diaz hey Julian, it's ok :) you can probably make a springer at home, i've seen it done before. try to keep the corners square. There are aftermarket designs that are easier to build, less curves.
      good luck to you my friend, and post pictures if you manage to make it :)

    Hi...you forgot the torque requirements on the rocker arm. There inner bolt is 50 ftlbs. The threaded insert with the allen wrench fitting hole in it is supposed to be torques to only 35in pounds. Then, the jam nut on the outside of that threaded insert is torqued to 100 ft pounds. You guys complete skipped that and it is very important to the operation of the rocker.
