      Hi Den,
      you may have to find a "Bro with lathe" to turn up some adapter collars or at worst, swap in a stock XS11 steering head sleeve into the Springer's lower triple tree but no doubt the fork can be made to fit.
      The original Harley Springer was a good enough fork that George Brough had them built under licence in the UK to put on his Brough Superiors.
      Mind you, that was in the 1920s.

        Fred, you have such a wealth of antique/classic bike knowledge it amazes me. So is this a picture of you on this supercharged Superior with the sidecar???

          I have no idea how you managed to make that connection within your brain, but I applaud whatever cellular mutation just took place.
