Here’s something different….Ride control on the fork rockers…Racing rockers??? Seldom seen…Very hard to find…and yes we do know Pete!… These contraptions are a copy of a Harley racing accessory for the V model bikes.. A non-catalog factory item.. We just had to have a set..Dispay is part of broken off Green Ella forks.

Lever used as timing control…After impact…Note the bent machine screws….Too bad they have Whitworth threads and are really hard to find…

Accessory Lever…From Hap Jones a few years ago…The 1″ version was used to control the ignition advance on quite a few Harley hot rods..You’d use Flanders bars with a 1/4 turn throttle on one side and this gizmo replace the left twist grip…
