Simons for pre 78?

Hmmmmmm? I was Happy 15 pages ago, Thanks Dave  . So has anyone got mag adverts or brouchers to prove thay were available in 77. Thanks Birko.

I think that I have got a '76 or '77 edition of Motocross Action magazine somewhere, with an article titled "Get ten from an RM". It shows Jody Weisel standing on a milk crate to get onto an RM fitted with Simons forks and Fox airshocks. I will go and have a look for it. I assume this could be used for proof of availability pre '78.

Thanks for that,all you got to do is ask. Love the Forum.

I found the magazine, but it is not exactly how I remembered it . The forks in the article are standard RM forks fitted with Al Baker aftermarket damper rods. There are smaller pics in the 11/77 magazine with Pat Richter on an FMF Suzuki fitted with Simons forks, but it is probably not the best evidence to use for proof of availability. Someone else out there should have something better.

I've got all the Motocross Action mags from the 70's.. Yes Simons forks were available and used in 1977

I quoted Motocross Action June 77 on page 4 of this topic.
