Dana - is that your black Hummer shown in this message link? If so, I have some questions for you. Tried sending to the email shown against your name, but it was rejected. Thanks. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Bill: My father had a '48 125S back in the early 60's. The rubber bands apparently broke, or were about to, so Dad (who was a mechanical engineer) replaced them with springs. My brother and I rode that bike for years with the "spring" suspension. In fact, the spring suspension was still in place until my brother had the bike restored by Bruce Mackenzie in 2010! I believe Bruce replaced the springs with rubber bands as part of the restoration. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- has anybody seen a rubber band fork converted to use a spring ? |
