It's a shame as a "Springer" fork it's purely aesthetic save for a little rubber grommet but the look is worth the lack of function (and added weight) to me. It's definitely wild and depending how this one goes, I'll be making a series of bikes that utilize the curved mast and an Evan's Action.I always thought the Evanaction was the craziest (cool) looking spring fork ever made. Interested to see here this goes. V/r Shawn
Thanks Boss, it gets the heads turning. Cant wait to have it back on the pavement to be properly admired.What a Unique looking Springer!!!
Those springs don't really do anything, I was a little surprised by that.....sooooo, I found replacement conical springs for mine. Much, much better.....for my super-secret-soon to be-project already in the works!It's a shame as a "Springer" fork it's purely aesthetic save for a little rubber grommet but the look is worth the lack of function (and added weight) to me.

I'll definitely post on occasion for updates on this. Keep me in your rear view mirror.

Good luck on this project.....
I'm eager to show more! Grateful to have watching parties!Nice start, will be watching this one to see where it goes. I like the look so far.

That's cool.... I am working towards the same goal as you..... Lot's of "Curves" going on with mine....With some very different stuff also.....Can't wait to see what you do...I appreciate that, thanks.
Yea, Kind of a shame about the springs but I'm building a bike purely off Aesthetic like a Barris than something of comfort. I have a feeling itll be enjoyable to ride, but not really built for long term cruises.

I almost gave up the frame a few times after buying it for what still seems like a very fair price given the original paint on it. I got lowballed, and a trade went sour over trivial details., so it sat a bit. Then I see that fork on it's original body for a song and knew right where I wanted to put it.Great seat! You have committed to Wild with that color. If you are on a roll go for it! Might turn out to be a Kool Surprise!
Thank you!I'm looking forward to seeing where this Elgin goes! Loving it so far!
