      How To Identify Harley-Davidson Forks

      Identifying which exact fork (front end) is on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle can be problematic. Especially with older bikes, many parts of motorcycle forks can be changed to different styles, or replaced with aftermarket motorcycle parts. In this article we share photos and identifying characteristics for a variety of front ends found on Harleys. Use the photos below and take a look at our guide on Harley-Davidson model codes to help differentiate which front end you have on your Harley Big Twin or Sportster. WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF HARLEY-DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE FORKS? There are multiple types of motorcycle forks, and many components. For the general purpose of this article we will focus on the main components of forks found on Harleys over the years. Here's a basic diagram of components that make up a motorcycle front end. Triple trees: The triple trees (also known as yokes) hold the fork tubes (which contain the fork springs), and are fastened to the neck of the frame by the steering stem. Sliders : At the bottom of the fork tubes are the lower legs, often referred to as sliders. The sliders house the dampening assemblies, which vary based on the brand and type of fork. Axle: The front axle is located perpendicular and engages the sliders. Steering stem: The steering stem connects the center of the upper and lower triple tree, which in turn holds the forks.Harley-Davidsons typically have a 1

              Yes , the complete fork assembly will fit though it needs a simple tab fork stop ~1" wide like the Sportster neck. Easily welded in place with the old triple clamp removed and blended with gloss black spray paint.

              It's not just a fork leg swap but is easy work. Download the 2001 sporty parts book or view at Ronnie's etc to see exploded views.
