Don't know who made them but they are sweet. I bet they would bring good money on ebay. Sorry to change subject but will you be at Trikefest?

The forks in that pic you have there 200x_basket, are off an old motorcycle. I have a set similar to those over at the shop somewhere.

Never seen clamps like that before, but I remember someone on here a while back found a 185s with that fork setup, I think it was Vegas250RR? (sp?) Might try talking to him about his. I know he had a thread about it on here somewhere.

There were so many makers of front ends for the 185s, it wasn't funny.
The 185s was the "new-hot" trike before the 250r hit the dirt and had quite a following parts wise for awhile. The 185s was also quite a bit cheaper then the 250r which helped with it's popularity at the time. Those forks are not recognizable to me from any one maker.
