What a gorgeous R51! I bet it'll be a really sweet ride this spring. 1937 model?

I have a spare R5 fork for my future R5SS project so I am not in need, but look closely at the picture.

The fork appears to be missing the front crossbar that is present on the R51/R71 lower triple tree and it looks like it has a selector mechanism like the R5/R6.

Ciao,

Bruce
