Girder Parts

For some time I have been planning for making the missing parts for the Girder Fork. First information I got from a "specialist" was that my fork is home made by some local black smith.

This I have believed for years but now I found an identical on some 1920:s Matchless motorcycles.



Searching the internet I also found a Parts List front fork.


I think I will have to make my own version of the upper yoke and linkage. With or without dampening.

Databook

Would have preferred an older original version of The Book of the JAP but opted for a newer cheaper version.


And if one want, there is (not so good) scanned version that can be downloaded from the internet at https://motos-of-war.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The-Book-of-the-JAP-Engine.pdf

Albion BJ

Adjusted and simplified the scanned pages I found to only contain the BJ two-speed gearbox.
