Oh Sir, that will do nicely, 1935 RL springer front end







Finally got what I’ve been after for a while now, an original 1935’ish RL / DL springer front end, the upper springs and some of the rocker bushes / bolts are missing but the main stuff is there and in great condition! 7/8 neck steam STD lenght, no fittings for ride control but hey I have an original springer from the 30's *smile*

Sent from the USA Friday 4th March 5.00PM, arrived in Switzerland Monday 7th Mach 3.21PM thank you Dan and Mr FedEx Man!!
