I double checked this info . If anyone can add anything or finds an error please amend

Also ,be aware if you are adding or replacing a springer fork that the forks are deeper on the post war bikes that are equipped with deep fenders. Also the two threaded rods that the springs set on may be longer then the pre-war and early post war.
