I have that same springer fork. Let me make a suggestion: Move the clamp down as far as you can and eliminate the spacers on top of the springs (below the bracket). You'll have a bunch of threads poking up above the bracket. Sleeve those with rubber hose and replace the nuts & washers. That gives you a much less harsh rebound.

Of course, for an Indian you want a leaf-spring fork, but nobody makes one.

Yep you want the those bottom rockers to sit more Level.

Taylar Cycles makes a leaf fork
