General photos of the forks might help Henri. Ron

These are Henri's forks. They look like 1930's 'Sloper' to me. Anyone else ID them? Ron
Think it is AJS: https://www.yesterdays.nl/product/ajs-1929-m6-350cc-1-cyl-ohv/ Cheers, Michiel
I think you might have nailed it Michiel.:+1: AJS brake drum is on the left. Sloper is on the right. Ron
Wow, Have had a 1929 R9 sloper sitting with a set of telehydraulic gl3 forks on it for past seven years. Been searching for a set of correct forks throughout Australia and the ROW endlessly. The forks in the photos were sold to me as belonging to a BSA. This set does not exactly match but worth looking into it further. Now if I could only find the front hub! Thank you for posting the photos Ron and thank you Michael for your suggestion.
No it is not Sloper, I believe the 500 AJS fork is a little longer than the 350 and very sought after. If your lucky and it is a 500 you might well be able to swap it for a correct BSA Sloper one, they come up now an then on ebay... Good luck Michiel
Michael, I found it. The WHT markings on a 1929 AJS R9 sloper. But the fork itself attached to a1939 M2 1000cc AJS. Thanks to you now I realized what it is, I think I would use it on my R9 AJS sloper, but I would need to machine a hub first. So many choices so few correct decisions
Hi Henri, I now understand you meant AJS Slopers, when I hear "Sloper" I think only of BSA cause they were so famous. I have a Matchless G3L conrod here also with WHT marking Good to hear you know what you have! BR Michiel
That was a 1930 M2 1000cc AJS and not 1939 as I wrote in error
