I've seen pale blue rubber dyno fork standers on us bay a few times recently pete, boot polish, dye or felt tips and bingo ;)  I had some back in the swinging sixties, they've got no markings on them , you know the ones , same tooling and just repackaged when gt started making the metal ones. and you've probably got this pic.....

I'm sure this questions been asked before but why didn't Fiola use normal Performer forks and mostly opted for the forks off the race bikes?

Just curious.

We all did that for a while after that - it was supposed to help stop the brake centrebolt from snapping when doing front hops.... A fad that didn't last long.

Cheers Gary....I figured it was something like that but then again he was a Spen and only weighed 2 stone with his helmet on so he could probably get away with it.  ;)

When i got those pegs Pete,I was always going to make them a black set ,but ended up doing the yellow GT as you know,so never used them ,but was going to try and find some black motorbike flip pegs with the black rubbers to use but never did,just an idea if they don't dye etc.
Love that colour performer ...going to be a great build mate...replicas aren't as easy to build as some people think,personally i think they are the hardest thing to build....good luck with it Pete.

Eddies Handles?
« Reply #15 on: March 15, 2008, 01:03 PM »
Are "Eddies Handles" rear platforms, like the white ones he has on this bike, hard to get hold of? Are they a rare and sought after part?
