Anybody identify these fork ears?
« on: December 07, 2012, 04:11:57 PM »
My friends bike, he picked them up at a swap, doesn't know what they are and I have always been curious. Especially as they are nice cast aluminum and not stamped steel like most of the others.

I would say they were hidden under a fairing. Try Italian bikes.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.
