David, IMHO they are way too heavy. Nice in appearance but I doubt the bike will handle the same with so much extra weight in front of the steering head. Maybe someone who has fitted a set can post an opinion.Just a reminder that Mike Breeding has Bramptons in the US.

At some point I think David Bowen said a friend of his was making NEW sets in the UK. Did anything come from this? I have a new spare set just in case. It took a lot of effort to squeeze Ray Daniels for them but worth it now.The forks from Michael Breeding have heavier wall tubing, this would be the main item adding to the extra weight. He has just recently assembled some complete sets of forks for sale, and these will be the last ones he is going to make. Ray Daniels in the UK has ceased making new forks, so the availability of Brampton's is rapidly disappearing.
