Hi Guys, Along with a KH basketcase came a lot of early Sportster stuff, so I have spent the last few weeks trying to identify some of this stuff to see if I can use it or if it is junk. The next item on my list is identifying model and year for a fork with 35mm Kayaba manufactured legs. It seem that the Kayaba legs were used on some mid-'70's Sportsters and a couple of years on '70's FX models.
My big problem is that I have looked at hundreds of Kayaba images on the internet but have been unable to find ones with a single bolt on one leg to secure the axle. (Actually not confidence inspiring arrangement!) The top triple tree may be original to the legs(?). The ugly lower tree has already been consigned to the junk pile.
Any help would be appreciated!kayaba1.JPGkayaba2.JPGkayaba3.JPG
