did you spot a Union label on it on the underside of the forks anywhere? You could find them on the chrome bikes sometimes, I would imagine the guys that did the chroming for Roper (they may have even done that inhouse as it was an appliance union) would stick them on there.

the one I redid a few years ago had one, and someone else that had one said thiers had it too. They were both open forkplate versions though





Bike is looking good, If you need a crash test dummy, I already have a burn scar on my leg right about where that exhuast sits :laugh:

I saw whats left of the sticker , but had no idea what it was. Pretty cool, they took pride in their work back then.

Mark you are more than welcome to come up and take it for a spin, my hope is the coating on the exhaust will keep the strawberries to a minimum.
