I'd wondered where you got off to. I don't think I'd seen more then a single post by you in the last few months.

Thanks for noticing SKWEARpeg!

Had to sell house in California Then move to Tucson.
Motel.... Apartment..... Then buy a new house.

Many days waiting around with van and trailer packed.
No fun.

Now we have a new home that is very nice.
We could not afford to live in California after my wife retired.
About that time my wife and I were both in the hospital at the same time!
She had to have surgery and I needed a stent in one of my heart arteries!
Long story but now we are both ok and doing well!
And in the middle of all that we had to move my wife's
mother to a nursing home and clean out her condo.
I did not think I would be doing so much late in life.

We are finally in a nice home.

That is a sweet looking bike. How difficult was it to install on the RS?

I guess that you are asking about installing the springer forks?
The frame was custom with HD neck so it was easy. Plug and play
There are set ups for metric bikes also.
Springer forks are good when you have a longer rake.
