I’m going to build an Evo Sportster Chopper. I know I want a hardtail frame. I do have a vision of making it look like an early 1960s Chopper. Small, stripped down, spring seat, springer forks, kind of that Sucker Punch Sallys look. Basically a rat rod chopper with a rattle can paint job.

Regarding Springer Forks. Looking at pictures on the Facebook of the swap meet, I see a lot of Forks with rust on them. Anything to note good forks from bad forks?

Any parts to typically avoid buying used and are better to use other sources like Lowbrow?
