I have this fork for sale if it is the correct one for that bike.

Thanks but mike is right. I need the '37 waterfall badge fork

You'll need a fork and guard and stem like this. Your WF nameplate looks real to me. My original below the other 37 I owned. Someday it will be done. And actually it was a blue/red like yours. Someone painted the blue with black house paint. It wasn't as clean as yours but a real one.

I'm in search for a very clean Delta Twinkie tail light and an original Delta handle bar horn button. That's it to complete this bike, parts wise. The twinkles shown, one was a poor repop and the other was an original but to damaged for me.

Thanks for sharing!

Still drooling over this Tyler. Closest I'll ever get to an Imperial...

I have the tank, but not on bike at this ride.

Imperial paint Scheme. WF badge. It's a deluxe. And with the Lobdel and WF badge. Killer! Actual Imperial in 37 came with that side stand, most think it's a drop, nice to see it with it. My original also came with it. I see you have both. Very cool. Excellent find. But mine didn't have the badge. Amazing it was somehow incorporated into the bike after the springer was added, crazy rigged up brace plate for it. You're stoked. I bet someone thought it was a Schwinn with that springer)).

Should have a long feather guard, long stem and of course right Fork with truss. It's a one year only fork. Feel free to pm me for details if you don't know.

HI Derek

What is the side stand that you refer to for the 37 imperial? An Atwood ? Miller? other? Also what makes the fork one year only? Please advise. Thanks

Believe it's a Wald

'37 only fork will allow for a "waterfall" badge, but crown is smooth. '38 is pinched/peaked.

wow interesting looking stand...never seen one before. Thanks for the pic and info on the fork too. I seem to remember somewhere way back in my memory banks that I should have known the difference between the 37 and 38....semi-senior moment? Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to pull my colsons out of storage and take another look at some forks.
