Speedway front fork rebuild

#23
Ole can you scan that paper sheet on Speedway forks? that looks pretty cool.
Gusto i was thinking of doing a Speedway web page. But my information is fairly limited on those bikes. I can start it, but it will be thin, and the info may not be totally accurate (best guesses on my part.)

Here's the Green Horn. No front fork dust covers, but it will work. Not really the right shade of green, but it will work.
Note I had to use "Goop" on the new front fork seals to keep them in place (because I don't have the dust covers, which would do that.)



Looks like the eltigre green. FYI the 71 up rupp sprockets fit the 14” speedways.

confirmed on the sprocket! but i went a different route... bought a 420 sprocket 40mm hole 60 tooth for $20. put it on the lathe and made the center hole the proper size of 1.788". then TIG welded the 4 holes shut, and re-drilled them in the correct spot. a fair amount of work but i want a 60 tooth sprocket (the original was 48 tooth.) yea could use a rupp (black widow has them) but pretty expensive at $70.
