If U look closely at the springers on PowerPlus Indians, there's a loop to the spring at the pivot end; the loop provided a low initial spring rate to make the ride quality of a leaf- spring suspension less harsh. Omitting the loop - especially with the rear weight bias of the design - would make the springer virtually inoperative. That's why the Hawthorne vert springer is a viable option; looks like a Harley JD fork - kinda.
i think possibly a snowmobile leaf spring cut in half?
with a threaded bung inside the steertube to pull it tight then just weld the legs off the bottom
pivots and all the moving bits wouldn't be bad to make either
i've been thinking of trying it on mine
im sure alot of time would be involved but it would be cool when its done!
