Yupper 73 with extended forks.

There must be thousands of sets of like new stock length fork tubes hanging out in old motorcycle shops.......
And Ole Frank's must have been one busy shop.

Man are you old!

Old? Nope I just turned 18 in 73.

That means you are 1 year older than me! I have not heard Frank brought up in years. A search shown me he is still in biz!

And it's right by you, I bought a set of tubes from (I believe his widow runs the business now) Franks last month.

To the OP, sorry for the hijack. Cool pic. Franks is a business that was very popular in the 70's for extended fork tubes, like on the bike you are sitting on. I and many knew it as "Forking by Frank"

 

[Jpwhit1]

not at all, very cool insight. I'm 44 by the way.
