    Not sure about a special tool. Can you give me more information? If you're looking for the spacer bearings they don't come with the springer. If you need spacer bearings you can only get them from Harley-Davidson.

    Awesome video. Do you guys sell specific Springer front wheels? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the hubs on Springer wheels designed for correct spacing? For example, isn't a front wheel on an FXST Softail different than the front wheel on a FXSTS Softail Springer? I'm looking for a black 21" wheel for my 95 Bad Boy and am having trouble understanding in all. Thanks

    Great video bud, I want to change my 2000 fat boy over to a springer. So does this kit basically have everything I need? Bearings, risers, riser bushings,etc,etc. now,do I need to replace my caliper to fit the new brake stay? Thanks much appreciated!

    Nicely done professional video. Since you have experience with both aftermarket and OEM HD springers, do you know if you can get aftermarket spring / shock sets that would work to replace the springs on the OEM. My crossbones of course comes with the black and chrome front end. Almost every peace of chrome is tarnished/ rusted, wanting to do a rebuild and maybe fully black it out

    Short answer is yes, we can get most of the replacement components for Softail springers, only in chrome though and they are often out of stock. Email us exactly what you're looking for at info@throttleaddiction.com and we can see if we can help you out.

    Great vids tanks. Hey this is completely unrelated but I couldnt find a vid or google search discussing springer frontends. I just bought an 06 FXSTSI with 19k miles. Went thru all the maintenance and yesterday took her out 4 a test ride. I noticed the frontend dipping all the way when i hit my front brakes. 19k i wouldnt think the shock would be worn out but I could be wrong so Just wondering your thots? IN 96 I built custom springer with a Paughco 6 over and it never dipped that bad. Maybe because the angles? Anyway any info would be greatly appreciated :-)

    Don’t hang your caliper like that! The hose is designed to stretch outward with volume and pressure they’re not meant to be stretched lengthwise. Use a bungee cord! Good vid though!
