Riding a Harley and knowing how to keep it on the road are two separate things. When the two are brought together, it accentuates our lifestyle. The techniques you learn for general maintenance and repair will soar to a new level with this Fix My Hog video class.
The Harley-Davidson® springer has been in use since the 1930’s. The Harley military springer front end is still a prized item for any chopper builder or collector.
In this class, your instructor will be Bob LaRosa, and he’ll take you step-by-step through the proper operation, adjustment and rebuild procedures on the springer front end.
FX and FL springers have been around a long time. They have a rigid fork and a spring fork set-up. The spring fork is hung on springs to absorb some of the bumps on the road. In 1946 the shock-assisted springer came into play before the duo glide.
In the 1980’s the springer was brought back and had an impressive run through 2011. They remain a rider favorite to this day due to its mechanical nature and feel.
This class will highlight that springers need maintenance just like any other mechanical item on your Harley. There’s no fluid. So the fixed and movable fork needs to be maintained, adjusted and eventually rebuilt as time and miles add up.
In his meticulous fashion, Bob breaks down the springer front end part-by-part and step-by-step. He’ll show you the importance of working in a clean environment and tracking every part you remove and the replacement part you are installing.
The front end is obviously a critical part of the motorcycle and one that requires your time and patience when rebuilding. In addition to this video instruction, you will be using your service manual and some specialty tools.
In addition to video instruction, this Class provides you with some extra downloadable information. Those include a printable Class Guide covering the key steps in the class, a tools/resources document, a bonus video download covering the inspection process of a springer front end, and a video talking about the history of the springer.
