A motorcycle suspension accessory device is provided that updates the look of a typical motorcycle front suspension system by providing exposed faux springs that affix over the functional fork tubes of the suspension. The device comprises an upper bridge element, a lower bridge element, and a pair of coil springs disposed therebetween. The forks of the motorcycle suspension are received through aligned apertures in the upper and lower bridge elements, while the springs are disposed between the apertures and receive the forks therethrough. The springs include an inner diameter sized to receive the forks without interference, while also providing a spring rate that minimizes structural loads on the triple trees. At the same time, the springs prevent movement of the bridge elements relative to the triple trees when installed. Spring perches are optionally provided at each aperture to support the ends of the springs.
