Yes, all Huffy 26" forks are the same, and you'll need to swap out the lower bearing race from your stock fork for the springer. With a hammer and a drift, you can accomplish this. Also, because the top of the fork shaft is taller, you'll need a one-inch shim. If you cut it any shorter, the springer will be ruined, and the bike will be lowered to the ground.
I installed clamp style breaks on my 26'' huffy beach cruiser (see my pick in my review); the bottom of the tube has a hole in the center, which I mounted the break on, and it worked perfectly.
No, an Electra's head tube is too long for the steering tube.
I'm not sure, but prior to covid, I had given some custom bike parts to a new local adventure shop. It was my intention to make a pedicab out of it. Alternatively, I could ride my touring bike, which is versatile and should suffice.
Selected User Reviews For SUNLITE Spring Replica Fork
It's a nice product, but I bought it to replace a set I already had on my bike. They don't seem to fit the same in almost every way, which I don't understand. When you turn the steering wheel too far to one side, it makes a pop/klunk sound. Because this isn't my first time installing these forks, I'm aware that something isn't quite right. I ordered the wrong type of head set for these forks (my fault). They're nice, but they're causing me some issues.
A 1" circle of rust appeared near the spring bracket on the forks, and some of the hardware was rusted as well. It will most likely rust in my garage if it rusts in the warehouse. Metal shavings were also trapped inside the fork tubes, causing the forks to rattle when moved.
A return was required of me. I couldn't get it to fit because it was too big. However, if it had, it would have been a five-star rating. The overall appearance and assembly quality were both satisfactory. This will not fit the Huffy 26" beach cruiser sold at Walmart! Don't buy because you'll have to pay a 20% restocking fee.
This was so close to getting a one-star rating from me. In the end, I decided that I was being too harsh because these forks do look cool and do smooth out the little bumps, albeit only slightly, to give your hands a break. br>br>ON THE OTHER HAND. "No hands" riding is a thing of the past. " Everything about the "trail" is incorrect. Worse, the lower pivot bolt actually slops around in its shaft, which is a deal breaker. The nut that holds everything together will not stay in place (without far more extensive modifications than a little LocTite). And this is a life-threatening situation. br>br>I finally fixed it by brazing in some bushings and using high-grade steel, but even then, the arms were bending and flexing under load. It's a one-of-a-kind fork. For a serious rider, this isn't a big deal. You won't be able to get it if you ride faster than 8 mph.
Thanks to some fellow Amazon shoppers, I was able to purchase this after some online research and assistance. I have a 7 speed cruiser bike that isn't particularly attractive, but I added this springer fork and bam, what a difference, the ride is a little softer, and it's a much nicer looking bike now, it was a really simple change to make if you do some research, online videos are helpful, just make sure to take your time when taking your measurements, it will save you time and aggravation, I also had to.
Although this is a nice Springer Fork, it does not fit my Hyper Beach Cruiser. It will work on a Huffy that I have. Just be aware that Hyper will not work.
However, there are no instructions for assembly. The forks are great, and they fit our old huffy frame from the 1970's perfectly. The trick is to remove the spring nut so you can "swing" off the top mount piece, which I had to look up on the internet to figure out how to do.
I gave them the benefit of the doubt and decided to give it a shot! I made a mistake, and I've learned my lesson. I'm going to strip these down to the bare metal (which will take a lot of time) and paint them! I would not recommend this product!.
