Maybe it's just me, but I can't find any discernible suspension on this otherwise nicely executed custom job. Thought there might be a horizontally mounted unit working through a linkage under the engine, but can't seem to see anything in the pics. As for the front end, I don't believe there is any way that can possibly be sprung..

Could it be the tyres Paul?

Not build for cornering, just cruising, posing....back and bum ache just looking at it.

But 3 pot brakes and a rear disc....obviously hoping it will go fast enough with the rider still on it to need them.

Looks cool.

Gee.

I like it but built for the eye not a bike to ride on UK roads well not the ones around me.my matchless is a rigid but has two big springs under the seat and working front forks.i have never turned down a ride on a bike but I have no enthusiasm to ride that.there are lots of ways to get that look with a working suspension
