"I wouldnt call that a well constructed Girder front end" Easy mud to sling, but I wouldn't call many suspensions of that timeframe "well constructed" or effective, or efficient. Hmmm, if I decide to put a Leverarm suspension on my bike because it looks cool or functions better, does that mean I'm trying to turn my bike into a Beemer? And if the day should ever come when I decide to sell my bike, why shouldn't I slap a Hardley tag on the tank, then I can get some clueless schlepp to buy a "unique one of a kind" Hardley for 3 times what I bought it for...
