Electra Townie

mine was too long for my Jag (the threaded top of fork)
I put the nut on top...cut with my dremel, and backed the nut off to restore threads
I believe some can be bought with long necks, but I can't remember where I saw them

he did some custom stuff on those springers too...the plates the fork arms are attatched to

Too long for your fork isn't as bad a problem Azbill as too short. It is shortness of the springer that stops it going on so many cruiser bikes.
 
Page down on the page linked and you will see that the fork tube can be purchased separatelylin in two lengths, 5 1/2" and 9".

I see HoughMade - I could get the 9" steer tube and put that onto my springer forks with V-brakes. I need to know if the T-piece bit of the steer tube would fit onto my springers because I would have no interest in those brakeless forks that they sell. I wonder if the inventor of the brakeless springer was related to the inventor of the coaster brake? Or were they just good friends,
