Twisted Choppers Mid Wishbone Springer Front End Forks – USA Made Custom Fit
Don’t Compromise on Safety. Stop settling for mass-produced, imported mild steel front ends that compromise your ride quality and safety. The Twisted Choppers Mid Wishbone Springer is 100% built in South Dakota for the builder who demands the best. We combine precision CNC machining with high-strength alloys to create custom forks that handle better, last longer, and keep you safe.
The Twisted Standard: 100% Manufactured in South Dakota. In a market flooded with “modified” imports, it is vital to know exactly what you are paying for. Some brands claim “USA Made” while simply taking a cheap, mass-produced import springer, swapping out the front legs, and calling it their own. We believe you deserve better.
Precision CNC Machining – No Cast Import Cores
We do not use “donor” springers. With the exception of the springs and mounting hardware, we manufacture every single component of this front end in-house.
- The “Cast” Test: Look closely at other brands. If you see rough textures, soft rounded edges, or visible mold seams on the trees or rockers, you are likely looking at a cast steel import core.
- The Twisted Difference: We CNC machine the Triple Trees, Rockers, Axles, Spring Rods, and Neck Pins directly from solid 1018 Cold Rolled Steel blocks. This ensures crisp edges, zero porosity, and exact bearing tolerances that cast parts cannot match.
4130 Chromoly Legs & Through-Tree Design
The weak point on many springer forks is where the rear leg meets the lower triple tree. Often, these are simply “butt-welded,” relying entirely on the weld for strength. We eliminate this risk.
- One-Piece Strength: Our rear legs are crafted from one continuous piece of 1-3/8″ OD 4130 Chromoly tubing that slides through the lower triple tree before being welded. This creates a mechanical lock with maximum shear strength.
- Superior Material: We use 4130 aircraft-grade alloy for both the front (3/4″) and rear legs because it is lighter and stronger than standard mild steel, providing natural vibration dampening and superior fatigue resistance.
Ride Quality & Design Features
Unlike budget springers that force you to solid-mount your handlebars, our design focuses on rider comfort and clean lines.
- Classic Wishbone Styling: Features curved front legs inspired by vintage chopper aesthetics, adding a custom, nostalgic look to the front end.
- The “Mid” Stance: Designed for a “Mid” width (9-3/4″ Outside), this front end offers a tighter, more agile profile than a wide glide while remaining beefier than a narrow springer.
- Vibration Dampening: The top tree uses pinch bolts and is machined to accept OEM #56161-83A riser bushings (Not included). This isolates your hands from engine and road vibration.
- Clean Setup: The bottom tree is machined to accept an internal fork stop plate, allowing for a hidden turning radius stop on compatible frames.
