I already had a black lid, I treated myself to a new bike to match !
That’s a great answerI already had a black lid, I treated myself to a new bike to match !
Davida open face. Black and gold.Hey Nigel ,certainly looks great & have to ask , have u tested yourself to a new lid to match ?
Nigel that is sweet, how about a close up of that label on the front forks that I keep hearing about!
Very handsome machine. Give me a shout when its road legal and not damp & cold (standard weather for Oxfordshire , England), we'll go for a spin.

I had to be very careful not to show the offensive reflectors![]()
Are they still Ohlins?
That's what I was wonder too.
The badge is cool for sure, but is the patent number for the fork design, or the Roadholder emblem?
Its really confusing because the patent for the original ROADHOLDER forks are very different than Olhins. Maybe a patent lawyer could look up that number and see what’s up.
If the patent number is the same as on the vintage badges then the badges are just decorations, which is still a nice touch anyway.
Back in the day Norton and other Brits made their own forks . The sliders, the tubes the internals etc... It would be crazy expensive now and maybe in the end the suspension may not be as good as what is available off shelf.
And I really like the Roadholder Vintage badges. The look is perfect , and at no time did I assume anything other than these badges are for "looks" and a nod to the past. I would love it if my sport had those badges on the forks.
