I have a elgin motorbike style frame and want to put a leaf spring style springer on it. Does anyone sell these style springers or make them. Any board members fabricate these out of all frontends? I am looking for one for my bike. Any info would be appreciated.
 
I do plan to build one for my build off bike........details coming in May. But, I plan to use an old solid blade Elgin fork, and weld a bracket to bolt the leaf to. Then use some homemade rockers and rods to complete the assembly.

This the bike I am thinking about add the leaf spring style springer too. Want to have a old school board tracker / motorbike look. Plus I like springers, some raw, dirty , patina
 
I will be using a single main spring off of the front of a Suzuki Samurai. The fulcrum points will impact the spring rate alot. The longer spring that you can use, the lighter the spring will act.
