I just picked up this springer the other day and I'm having a hard time identifying it. The rockers seem to be upside down with zerk fittings facing downward. It seems like the rockers may not be the original ones. It has a removable 7/8 stem and very thick square solid rear legs. I know AEE and SIE did square legs but other parts made me think Fury with non original rockers. Can anybody weigh in on this please? I did read through the thread on Jockey Journal and looked at all the pictures that I could. Thanks in advance.

It looks like it was cut shorter and cut poorly; the back legs at the bottom look hacked, while the rocker holes on the bottom of the front legs are not even in the middle of the legs.
An interesting feature, which may help identify it it that the back legs are square below the bottom tree, and round above it. Also, it is inline, not offset, and the upper spring perch is thick...will dig through my files tonight.If buildin' old school choppers was easy, anyone could do it... ain't nobody said it's gonna be easy...Comment

Rockers kind of look like the SB&F springer on the right. I used to have an Amen Square springer years ago that was drilled out on the bottom like that but there was no twist in the front legs. Probably offered it both ways. Could also be a cobbled together front end from a couple of different companies.Last edited by 47str8leg; 04-01-2020, 5:26 AM.Comment

Ya, not SB&F - note how upper spring perch is right next to the upper tree.
Not AEE as their square leg back leg goes right to the top, and upper spring perch close to upper tree:
Not Amen,as they have a 'point' in the middle of their upper spring perch:
Not California springer as they have one-piece upper tree/upper spring perch, like Columbia, Butts, and P&P springer:
Cycles International is close:
Not Denvers - offset trees, Not Dick Allen, not Finch, Not D&D, Not Jammers, Not Randy,
Fury has their spring perch in similar location, but lazy twist that is not twisted near the top, and no mention of square back leg:
KDM springer is close...how is the upper tree tightened to the back leg?Last edited by TriNortchopz; 04-01-2020, 11:23 PM.If buildin' old school choppers was easy, anyone could do it... ain't nobody said it's gonna be easy...Comment

"Now, look at the spacing of the upper springs on Mouse's DA front end. See how far apart they are? Dick built Mouse's front end just about as wide as an original springer was. Also note, that the lower spring perch bar is square - not round, and about as thick as the lower triple tree is."
I found this by accident........
