Has anybody put a springer on one of their builds? If so what brand did you use? Everybody I contact says their springer will not fit a Honda…
Thanks for the help!

Yes x2. Buy any springer you want and replace the neck stem. Figuring out the bearings and races is the biggest pain in the butt of the whole process. Fortunately the 750 has a large dia neck so you can do a 1' stem and use pretty much use and ol' springer out there. 1" is also a popular ID for neck stems making the bearing selection process easier. The absolute easiest* way to go about it would be to buy an aftermarket neck stem the appropriate length and a little THICKER than your original. Take it to a machine shop (bring your old stem/ triple trees and new bearings for fit ref) and have someone duplicate the dimensions EXACTLY. All balls makes a tapered roller bearing kit that fit's the OEM neck stem. Changing the trees will make your front wheel unusable (because of the widthc) so make sure you have that planned out as well.

Cycle x used to sell the correct parts to swap harley front ends onto hondas. May be worth a call to Ken, I am sure he would give you the part numbers or places to source parts to do the swap.
