The Cyclery Racing Fork Merkel Type

The Cyclery Racing Fork Merkel Type

Description
Facts

A design by the historic American motorcycle company The Flying Merkel, which existed from 1902 until World War I. The light and sturdy construction soon got the attention of race departmens of other brands, so by the end of the Teens it first appeared in a suspension-less version on Harley-Davidson factory board track race bikes. This is a true to detail reproduction of the period racing fork with a fork stem to fit IOE HD models.

Length is indicated from the assumed axle center line to seat of lower steering head bearing.

Forks are not drilled for axles at the lower end to allow for your choice of wheel/hub/axle.

  • fits IOE models 1915-1929
  • steel, anti-rust primer, steering stem Ø 1-1/8”
  • length: 42 cm

This handlebar is dedicated to the infamous board track machines of the Teens and 1920s. Only machines of the factory Race Department of Harley-Davidson had these mounted. Due to the pulled-down bar ends you crouch on the gas tank and automatically adopt a racing position, which shoots you back to the starting line of the board tracks of the era.
