The front numberplate of that 1000c Thor sure looks interesting....

P.S. not very British, are they ?!

Nice pictures.  Did you get any pictures of the Thor that I can just see in the first pic?
Cheers

Not familiar with Thor forks at all, but it appears there are springs up inside the main fork legs, and they are acting in extension with those leading link forks.

Must have been interesting getting/setting the correct spring strength...

Hopethishelps.

P.S. Thanks for the Thor pic, speedo.
They must be thin on the ground. ?
