Yea ... durfee girder forks ... you can change the rake angle by changing a linkage in the upper forks ... love em ... sadly they weigh like 600 lb ... There is one guy who as em on a savage ... in my case I went with a dirt bike FE and made the triples for it.

[Phil B]

wowhat?  you telling me, THAT, was actually a GS500? ! ??

that's impressive. Although I'd personally like sport bars  back on that


lol. and I was blinded by the chrome shiney.. i thought for a minute you had moved the pegs forward, cruiser style, but i guess those are just overly fancy frame sliders?

[burning1]

It is for sure a GS, and by far one of the most interesting chopper builds in a long time. Very cool to see something inventive rather than the usual custom paint job and bolt on parts with a kit frame.

It looks really nice for a show bike, however I don't think I would want to drive it that much, and the headlights is a little much for me. That being said the craftsmanship is outstanding.
