I bought a 1963 deluxe American that had a lot of paint loss on the fork. I had seen that a springer fork was an option for that bike, so I thought, no problem, I'll add one. I bought a fork with s bolts and put it on the bike. I was feeling pretty good about myself until I tried to install the handlebars. The stem wouldn't fit!! I had a 1968 starlet iii hanging up and the stem from that bike fit fine. What's going on???
