I cant believe no one replied to this...wow that's ugly...are those bungle cords from the rear lever going up to the headset???I've never had the privilege of seeing one of these disasters in person...great find...lol

Do you turn the fork backwards then bolt on??

I can't believe I missed this post originally. They are beautiful. I didn't know there were leading link forks for bicycles. This is giving me ideas.

thanks for posting and bumping

Not sure I trust stuff so close to the tire as failure can lead to very abrupt stops.
Hard to tell from the picture what it is really. Yep looks like bungee cord material.

I've shown this pic elsewhere, it's an old Husqvarna fork, but the rubbers are still easily available for speedway and vintage motorcycles.




Mobylette version of the same system
