Early Harley Davidson Davis Built Fork and Complete Headset

[Jesse McCauley]

Davis built Harley Davidson fork of the early "triple plate" crown variety.

I'm not especially versed in the HD dating so I would recommend the extensive Davis thread if you are curious bout what year this fork/headset fits.

Headset is very clean and complete.
No structural damage, just paint loss although it appears it could have some good condition nickel plating beneath.

Wow another HD fork in one week. I wish I would need them. GLWTS

Here's a more recent photo from the great stash at oldbike.eu

I also just got a message from @Krautwaggen who pointed out that this fork appears identical to those used on comparable era Lovell Diamond bicycles and the paint scheme leads him to think it was used on one of their bikes.

makes one wonder if there's a chain ring or badge hiding out there somewhere

Either way it's an uncommon fork. Seems it would be suitable for either make.

I've had 2 original girls Schwinns with same fork.

It looks like everybody is hoarding HD parts except me...maybe is because I'm hoarding only Indian parts...
