When you try to fit a front mudguard on long forks without that spacer you struggle to tighten it all up as it really need that (1/2") spacer.

Marty,

Be wary of the new Indian made copies, they are untested (any one who has bought them has not commented here on them) with suspect production techniques and are considered good for static displays only.

That's an interesting question indeed.
Anyone had any toubles with the Indian forks ?

I've only heard of a fella in Australia having a link spindle shear and fail. Also fit was not great and had to make some 'adjustment's'. But not too much info out there. I'm looking for an original though. :)

I have seen these Indian forks and you have to be very desperate to fit one of these. Even just for what they look like. Poor quality ugly castings while that should be forgings which are much stronger.

I've had a good look at the Indian forks after all the paint was blasted off a set my friend bought with a view to fitting on a Levis project....

There are multiple reasons why I wouldn't consider using a set, cosmetically, dimensionally and structurally...Ian

I bought an Indian made set of forks last year out of desperation before finding a genuine set.
The Indian ones were like a characature of the real ones. Horrible castings instead of forgings and to add insult to injury were not even straight. I would never have fitted them.
