I've got my motor bike almost the way I like it, however the fork looks wrong. What do you think will look best? Springer? Truss rods? Triple tree? Mtb suspension fork? I dunno. I know it needs something. Something looks off. Maybe it's the handle bars. I dunno. Any advice would be helpful
Thanks

I guess I should mention the head tube length is 7 1/2 inches. Do the monarch clones have a tube that long?
 
The Bad reviews came from the first Generation of
repop Forks they did of this type of fork ,the revamped
springers are great much stronger ...

Truss rod forks would suit the look better! Ive never been a huge fan of the later welded forks, theyre too rounded at the top. I always prefered something older with a sharper fork crown
 
you just cant go wrong with added suspesion

I think you need a mountain bike fork to match the moto-bike seat and springs. Did the seat come from a Whizzer Ambassador?
 
The seat is actually from a schwinn hurricane. It's longer than most bread loaf seats from that era
 
These came today

We'll see if I can do something with them. If I can't I doubt I'll have trouble selling them
 
mTB gas shock forks;
Give the best: rideàbility...
On Motorized bicycles.
Springers,,seem to get too bouncy.
Solid fork,,will cause major wheel hop;
Over 15-20 M.p.h. :eek:

I agree,,MTB would look appropriate. :39:
