Found Wanted Schwinn Fork crown for balloon tire fork

[Schwinny]

Looking for a fork crown for a balloon tire fork. Similar to the one in the pic.
Side to side outside measurement needs to be roughly 3-1/2"
The ones I have are for slightly narrower forks at about 3-1/4". Middle weights I guess.
Thanks.

I was thinking that also but I crossed my fingers AND toes so....
I saw that someone bought a box full of assorted here a few weeks ago and was hoping

I know 1998+ Cruiser 7s have them. I Got a girls model; I could throw a tape on it & snap a pic. I don't really wanna disassemble it for fun though.

I'm not sure they made them for ballooners only middleweights. The later '98 cruisers have a different shaped fork I do not think they can be used on earlier Schwinn forks.

He may be right but that part looks identical & as far as balloon forks go that is the only Schwinn I have seen them on. May be lack of experience/knowledge but Pics attached for idea (zoom in/trying to help purposes)

Hey buddy , hope things are good with you.The later forks like you show are actually wider then the early middleweights much more like a ballooner and that crown only works on that fork I believe.

Yeah I'm doin' Ok. Hope you are as well? I know there's a big time frame gap from the vintage/box store Taiwan bikes but he did say he was looking for a ballooner crown vs middle weight. Idk jus' trying to help .... wouldn't hurt to measure If I don't have to disassemble 'less it'd work
