This page is designed to aid in choosing the perfect springer for your application. All information below applies ONLY to Gusher Cycles Springers with their unique “Flamingo Rocker” design. Below you will find a step by step process on how to measure your bike, and choose the correct length springer best suited for your needs. To most accurately measure your bike you will need a tape measure, a jack (scissor type works best), and a digital angle finder like an “Angle Cube” or similar.

First Step - Measuring your bike

For best results we suggest using a bare frame with the rear wheel and tire you will be using installed properly in the rear, Bearing cups installed (if applicable) and a small scissor type jack placed under the frame in the very front. If your bike is fully assembled you can simply place the scissor jack under the front of the frame and remove the current forks. At this point you will use the jack to raise or lower the front of the bike to achieve the frame position stance you desire while making sure the rear wheel/tire stays on the ground. If you have a buddy, spouse, or child in the near vicinity get them to help hold the wheel on the ground and not knock over the bike while measuring. While the bike is at this perfect stance position you will take two measurements. The first measurement will be the rake angle of the neck. To do so place your digital angle finder against the front of the neck to find the exact degree of rake your neck is at. Remember, neck rake is measured from vertical zero, not horizontal zero. This means the side of your angle finder will be against the neck, not the bottom. The next measurement will be the distance from the ground to the lowest (bottom rear) point of your bottom neck cup. Simply hold the tape as vertical and true as you can to get this measurement. With these two measurements you can simply use the chart below to find the perfect size springer for your application. When you check out you will be prompted to enter the Neck Rake that you calculated here. This angle will assist us in setting your rocker angle to the best position.
