How To Install A Springer & Front Disc Brake On A Custom Chopper

This video is brought to you by: www.lowbrowcust...
In this video Todd walks you through how to install a Samwel Supplies Classic Inline Springer, Lowbrow Customs Riser Adapter Top Clamp and a Cannonball Springbrake Disc Brake kit onto a 1966 Triumph 650 frame. Wait what!? How Do you put a Harley-Davidson type springer on a Triumph?
Don't worry, in this extensive how-to tutorial Todd shows you all the tips and tricks on making this incredibly made springer a reality on this Triumph project. He also shows off a bunch of top adapter clamps that will work with the springer and all the other parts you will need to successfully run this on any bike.
Todd also walks you through how to get a really nice disc brake system on a classic springer. These Cannonball Springbrake kits work not only with the Samwel Supplies springers but any other Harley / replica springers giving you a way better option than that sketchy drum brake.
So break out those tools and let's get into it. This ones a long one, so grab your favorite beverages and we can get to work.

Always love your videos Todd, clear and detailed

Great video Todd. I ended up using the stock Triumph forks on my 66 Bobber but these would look really great. I have an 88 Harley Springer and love Springer forks.

[@girthquake9655]

I see Todd. I click.

[@theobviouschicken]

great video, in depth, lots of little tricks. Are we going to see more of this triumph ? You know we want another Todd sportster saturdays ... or triumph tuesdays or WLA wednesdays or shovelhead sundays ! :D

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

I never seen brake lines like make your own brake lines right there That's a good idea, with kind of a compression fitting at the banjo bolt..

It’s that time of year again ✌🏻❤️🫵🏻🇨🇦🇺🇸🎉

This is extremely timely. I put a springer and disc brake on a big twin last year, but there were issues with the spacers and the install (instructions were terrible and there's not much online). Guess there was a small amount of play in the caliper because the first time I tested it it locked the front brake and caused me to dump the bike. Interested to see how this install goes and if there's any tricks or what I missed.

Awesome video Todd. I do have one question though. I understand why you said that front end would not work on an Ironhead. However, did you forget about the adapter neck cups that allow a big twin front on an Ironhead ?

Thanks Tod cleaver cable clamping cheers

[@johnnychaos3675]

Nice one, Todd. Woo! 🤘

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

Simple months ago I bought a 1970 almost stock shovelhead while the paint is not original. And it has those type of socket bolts that hold on the front and rear brakes. I'm pretty sure it didn't have the star hub so the star hub must have been prior to 1970 mine did have an older style hub though.

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

I had a 69 tiger and I always thought those two fork or front bosses. We're for a sidecar mount.....

[@kevinharvey4886]

you should try the deablo blades for your sawzall. they last alot longer

[@jeffkesel7217]

Excellent video Thanks!

[@jerrybigrig]

😎👍😎

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

I was wondering is there something special about a StarHub other than it's old probably well made and I see it has a zert fitting..

[@christophersmith7714]

A sidecar or something to do with the Police version of the bike I seem to remember.
