well he hit a tree after losing control so the front forks broke off so did my front wheel.

money is not that big of a deal as i would try to find what i can used i have seen some people use street bike front ends that look great i also like springers and yeah i know that would be a bit of money.

If he hit a tree hard enough to break the front end. I would check the frame very well, it could be bent or cracked the welds.
