could not see the pics on my PC at work.  Big Brother filters out pictures of bike porn!

Now at home I can see that they look magnificent.

I have seen Flower Pot Ben's replica FOX clamps in the flesh, they are stunning, I feel they look more like the original, and have less of the "modern CNC style look" of the ones above.
They even have machined the little casting-edge around the middle like the originals had!

mmmmmm I would love to have a look in your garage!  My new years resolution wa to work out how to post pics on the forum.  That was back in 2011, still on my to do list.  Then you could see the parts in the flesh.  That said the pics don't do them justice you need to see them close up to touch, see and feel the quality.

Nice to get some positive comments from Ola about the parts,  Cheers mate!

Going on your comment about draft angle & rib in the centre were the originals cast?
Both Rod's/your's & RCM's look beautiful, almost too nice to hide behind a number plate or get dirty

Cast?  No, the originals were forged.  No compromise 'best of the best' approach.

Too good to hide?  Nah, made for racing!

You could also buy the 38mm billet forks & clamps from your local Suzi dealer accoding to this,I wonder how many sets they sold?

And yes, I have googled the part # to see if any were still about,Ya never know,no luck though ;)

The 38mm forks are all drawn up and ready to go!  To do the job properly you need to invest serious money and make things in batches. (makes your eyes water!)  Ones and twos just don't work.  With a limited market and even fewer people that can back up their desires with real money (lots of people would like a new set of replica forks for $300!!!! ~ if only that were the case) it is one small step at a time.....
