I dont really care for springer's never have. I just posted this because this is my dealer and has been a pretty decent guy to deal with. I had seen post of interest about springs here so, there you go. As far as getting it done a lot cheaper, I doubt it. You might be able to purchase the components and do it yourself somewhat cheaper. But then I looked at prices for front end kits from jp cycles & such and they aint exactly cheap. And I not seen anywhere that you can drop off your (triumph) and get a springer conversion done for ya. Most places only work on harleys. This was just one of those for your information things. Personaly I think the telescopic front fork was the best invention for bikes to ever come along having biked on rides with no supension at all.
