OK, so I decided to sell the xs400 and I'm probably picking up an '83 650 Special (depending on how the auction goes) and, at the very least, a frame from an '81 to start my bobber project. I'd like to put a springer front end on it and I saw the springers from www.chopperenterprises...tends.htm. They are the cheapest I have seen them ($650-it's a sign!) and they have both a 1" neck stem and a 3/4" neck stem. I know the 1" will not fit on the XS frame but how about the 3/4"? Also, these forks will accomodate an 8" neck length. How long is the neck on the XS? Thanks.

On my chopper project, I plan to bush the neck tube to fit HD bearing cups. I believe the tube will also have to be shortened a bit. Then you can run 1" or 3/4", depending on the bearings you use.
