While the seller is lacking in morals without doubt  ::)

Weather the arm is genuine or not is IMHO irrelevant , Original or copy really who gives continental   ::)

Back in the day they were a cool addition and to this day to us who remember them they are still a cool part . $1000.00, US if hes happy paying that good on him .The reality is in 10 yrs time all this stuff original or copies will be worth five eighths of fork all, when silly old forks like us have relived the past and are more concerned where were going to live out are days than about old bikes the lot will be worth fork all  ;D do you really think the kids will want it  ::)

If its a copy its less likely to be bent , cracked, or plain worn out so its probably a better option  ;) Im off to look at retirement brochures  :)


        :D :D :D   Spot on What we consider a work of ART the Kids call Junk..
                      The Kids have not got a clue as to its Value not that a lot of
                      Parts that we are paying big $$$ for are realy worth what we
                      are paying for it any how..
                      Unless its Genuine Nos Stuff  and some of that is over inflated

Shit KLP are actually reproducing something that resembles something from back in day  rather than something in the builders imagination

Those KLP arms are beautiful pieces of work but most are his design and not "in the spirit of the sport" in my opinion. A mate here has bought a few but there not legal in our rules so cant use them
;D ;D ;D I was thinking the very same thing Bill and Joan. Karl's fabrication skills are some of the best I've ever seen but sometimes his grasp on period authenticity leaves a bit to be desired.
