Hi there!

In this video I will give more details about the springer fork building process

This is how I did it for my bike, it doesn't mean that it is right or not, it has just

served my needs

I am sure it can be done in many ways

The goal of this video is to show deeper the suspension building process, as well, all

used parts on it, than, you may design your own springer forks

I wanted a very stylish, functional and lightweight forks spending around $150

To match the bicycle's style, I inspired myself in the classics Harleys Davidsons springers

forks

It had to be simple and with all parts visible

I also needed to use the fork to raise about 10cm the bicycle's front

To keep the budget, as I had installed a brand new double crowns forks, I've decided that

the suspension would be added and adapted to the original forks

I started the project, drawing all necessary parts in Adobe Illustrator and then I transferred

the parts to a 3D software to see all parts working together

The project was very similar to the designed concept and its features

Next step, print all moving parts and use a PVC pipe as a prototype

(unfortunately I have no pictures for that)

Since I knew that all parts would be made of aluminum and cut with water jet (CNC),

I had to make sure that all parts were well designed and working as they should

Any error at this stage, would increase the final production value

After few attempts, I finally found all necessary measures

I finalized all parts that would be cut using a 3D software and sent them to the CNC cutting

company

The front arch and the springs guide are made of stainless steel

The distance between each leg is calculated according to the rim size and it is parallel

to the original forks

For the chrome appearance, all parts are made of stainless steel and very well polished

In the initial design I used two old springs of an conventional bicycle front suspension

I'll talk more about the springs functions soon

This is the 3D model used in development stage, I'll use it to illustrate all parts in detail.

Here we can see all elements created for the suspension that will be added to the original

fork

These are the parts designed and made especially for this project

These are the parts I bought ready or recycled from old bicycles

I'll start with the top base

This part must fit perfectly on the existing fork and offer full support for the springs

As it receives all impacts in both directions (up and down) it's made of a thick hard aluminum

sheet

To enhance the stability and eliminate any slack, I added a 4mm bolt in the backside

Springs supports

They are turned in the lathe to offer the ​perfect support for all springs and ​keep

the guid​e rail stability

Springs: I originally used two old springs

The lower springs are left in the original size and the upper rebound springs are cut

shorter

With the project ready and after testing around six months I had to make all springs again

with higher tension

To help the rebounding springs and reduce the noise, I added two pieces of very stiff

rubber

The rockers

These two parts have the very important function of moving and connecting all parts together,

plus raise the bicycles front up to 10cm higher

They must have the exact size to keep the suspension and the fork aligned with the very

same angle, otherwise the suspension wouldn't work well

Any inclination will impair the spring rails movement

The left side is break disks ready

The parts were lowered using a milling machine

Finally, the binder bolts

I bought ​four sit binder​ bolts​, they​ ​are essential for the joints because the

threads are hidden reducing the friction between the connected parts

I had to add some washers to give the correct grip

The connection of all parts should be stable, but not too tight to guarantee the movements

Grease is required in all joints and moving parts

In the springers guides I placed two nuts to close the system

All parts are assembled under pressure, the springs are constantly pushing the base

All aluminum parts were very well sanded and polished to give the perfect chrome appearance

​So, the​ total investment with man work, material and CNCs: is about $160

I hope this video will inspire ​and help ​you to create your own springers fork

Please let me know your opinion about this project!

Sharing ideas is always good

Thanks for watching and see you soon!

Click the button.

This is where you can select your hosting plan.

You'll see three different options.

You'll see a Basic plan, Plus plan, and a Prime plan.

I recommend going with the basic plan and then you can always scale up whenever you'd

like.

If you have more than one website then you'd want to choose either the plus plan or prime

plan.

I'm going to choose the basic plan for this tutorial as this is most common.

Go ahead and hit the select button on whichever plan you would like to use.

We are now brought to a domain page where we can choose the domain name that we want

completely free.

Or if you already have a domain name you'd enter it in over on the right.

For the new domain you can select if you want it to be a .com, .net, .org, etc…

.com is the most popular domain extension so I'd recommend going with a .com if you

can.

I'm going to type in a domain here and click the next button.

Domain is free.

You can unselect this as there are free backup plugins you can use for your WordPress website.

This isn't necessary to have.

Sitelock security find is security for your WordPress website and protects it from hackers.

I'd unselect this as there are really good free alternatives.

It will prevent telemarketers and marketers getting a hold of your personal contact information

The domain privacy will show Bluehost's information for the site and not yours.

All of these addons are completely optional and up to you to get.

As you can see your saving a lot for this hosting package.
