American suspension Dragon springer

[Svahna]

I´m looking to buy the dragon springer from American suspension
and want some info if someone could help out.

What " stuff " do I need? What happens with rake, wheelbase etc?

Thanks > Jimmy

Love mine..

you will go from 3 degrees rake in your BDM triple trees to 0 with ths
springer...but your bike will be about 3 inches longer from the rocker on the front.

You will also have a clearence issue with the trees hitting the tank.
you can:
1. live with it as some on here do
2. make a bracket as i did to push your tank back 1". cost about $10.00
3. or replace the tank like the reaper did.

the bike acutally handles better.
it is noisier going over bumps.
But they stand out in a crowd for sure..


Best upgrade so far I have done.

Do this mean the angle of the fork legs changes?

 

[Splitlog]

yes by 3 degrees..but overall length will be longer

our frames are 39 degrees
and trees 3 degrees

Thanks for input.
I´ve now contacted the dealer and are awaiting answer.

Still not sure witch trees to choose , maybe some of you whom have these
forks could post some pics of yours to show how they look on the bike/fork.

Also wondering what brake to go with, what have you guy gone with?

Thanks >Jimmy
