Title: Featherbed short or long forks
Post by: chewt on March 25, 2008, 05:14:59 AM

Simple question, i have two featherbed frames one is 1954 88 frame bolt up rear end and the second a 1960 es2 frame, the latter has an a65 engine the first a triumph tr6 engine. I have a set of long and short road holder forks. Which goes with which frame?

To complicate matters the norbsa has a 19 inch rear and 18 inch front wheel combination and the triton an 18 inch rear and 19inch front.

The reason i am asking is because the norbsa looks a little raked out at the front, and currently has the long roadholders.

Both versions of Featherbed frames used the short Roadholders.

Is that why the norbas looks like a chopper?
