I have a 2008 Ridgeback and would love to put American Suspension Dragons black/chrome on...It looks like it is more than an afternoon bolt on job..

Hands down, DEFINITELY one of the sweetest looking Ridgebacks I've ever seen! (And was privileged to watch him ride it for bout 100 miles or so. Never noticed a single problem.) And, like him, have also tested the Dragon and LOVED it!!! Even felt alittle better than my stock forks. Assumming overall craftsmanship is what it's supposed to be, would have ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM sportin this front end from St. Louis to Cali!!! :2thumbs:

Okay, once again I'm torchering myself with the decision of adding a springer front end...I've talked to several local custom shops and get a different opinion each time. The only concensus is American Suspension is a piece of crap. I know a few guys run them on the forum so please chime in...let me know what you think of your American Suspension springer...

Here are my options so far

1) American Suspension Dragon; great look

2) Denvers Choppers

3) Redneck Engineering

4) Paughco

5) A still a fav is adding the tribal triple trees and dressing up the current front end :bang: This is what Gas runs and it looks awesome.

So let me know your comments...for those running a springer do you like the ride, performance, etc? Thank you in advance for the info...I've learned a lot from all of you in the first year of BDM ownership...Yesterday I rode the dog in 37 degree weather and it rocked! :2thumbs:

The Tribal Triple Trees are sick! I have a 05 Ridge Back, would that fit my bike?

You don't mention DNA front ends, that is the one I put on my bike.... You can also get Fender mounts that adjustable, not welded before chroming...Love it! Check out the before and after pics, I still need to stretch the frame. 4 in. in down tubes and 2 in. in back bone, still working on it. Just tore it down two days ago as Snow finally hit Salt Lake.

just to point out the Rednecks don't look exactly like that anymore. At least mine doesn't. The curve at the top of the front legs looks different to that now (wishboned? - not sure what you call it). Quality, solid front end though.
