Construction
|
| Some springer fork tubes are made using
regular steel (usually referred to as DOM). Chromolly (4130
alloy) is the tubing used for building aircraft and dragsters. |
 |
I use a minimum wall thickness of 0.120 inches for the legs. |
|
Chromolly tubing has a higher strength to weight ratio than
regular steel so I don't need to save weight by hollowing out
the triple trees. Solid triple trees = greater strength |
 |
Legs and Triple Trees are Tig Welded |
| • |
Oilite bushings are used in the rockers and the triple tree
for lubrication and easy replacement |
| • |
Axles, Spring rods, Nuts, Washers
and Rocker Boltsare made from Stainless steel |
