will fit on on this...

basically a Wal-Mart beach cruiser.

Is there "standard" sizing? Because they're both so common is that reason enough to believe it'll fit? Are all the 26" bent springer forks being made all the same size, despite manufacturer? What about head tube length?

Thanks to all for your help.
 
Those springers are usually built for 1" steer tube, unless stated otherwise. Probably what your bike has, if you're not sure take the top nut off and measure it. This guy viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38659&st=0&sk=t&sd=a sells a nice grade of these, with a long tube, you can ask him how long the steer tube is. Your bike's head looks pretty long, so even if it is long enough you may have to bend the upper bracketry to fit it. :|
 
as long as the steer tubes are about the same length, it should fit. The springer steer tube can even be a bit longer than the stock fork if you are willing to either add spacers or cut it down to size.
