I do believe<br />VL front forks belong on VL's. The<br />VL motorcycle did not develop the <br />speed/power of the overheads and<br />the frame/forks were suited to the<br />lower speeds/power. This looks<br />like a postwar knuck to me. Beautiful bike, classic photo.<br /><br />Oh, the sprung fork on a VL has<br />the bridge closer to the tire..<br /><br /><br /> Still Blind MelonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305674744888494039.post-10322381480833860282010-03-15T07:35:39.652-07:002010-03-15T07:35:39.652-07:00Perhaps I misspoke on the mid controls.

I meant mid "pegs" If you look directly down from his heel, I do believe I see the round end of a foot peg mounted higher than what would be expected. Clearly his foot is on the chromed brake pedal. I'm pretty sure the seat is the later deluxe version found on 47/48 era bikes. It looks like the one on mine. As for the springer, I'll believe you but you have to admit with the chrome and the lighting, the rear leg sure looks like an I beam.Flathead Jeddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600643829390315418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-305674744888494039.post-52138021836352543862010-03-15T07:21:28.403-07:002010-03-15T07:21:28.403-07:00Nice try Bunky.

No mid-controls, his foot is on the brake pedal in it's stock position, and I believe the saddle to be the earlier 40 style deluxe version. points to you on the rest though.drsprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15063962955687570596noreply@blogger.com
