ABSTRACT:
A 26-inch springer fork is bent to produce a forward curve in the furcations or arms of the fork. The curve has a bending radius of substantially six inches, and the angle between the arms and the main body of the fork is less than a right angle. Typically, the angle of bend is on the order of substantially seventy-five degrees. When mounted on a bicycle, the curved fork causes the front wheel to extend forward in front of the bicycle, and gives the bicycle a longer, lower look, thereby emulating what is known as a "low rider." The struts of the springer fork are shortened to accommodate the bend. The springer fork has a steer tube provided with a threaded member at the bottom thereof for mounting a fender. An angulated washer is provided for matching a mounting screw to the inner curved surface of the fender.
