Nicke's Supertuppen!
Nicke Svensson had an epiphany on New Years Eve...Why not bring back the Vard Fork???
He had already started fabricating Vard covers back in 2012 and now he has decided to hand fabricate the entire forks! If anyone can do it Nicke can...
When I asked if he had a picture of a complete Front End he said...
"No I don't... I got the idea on New Years Eve so things are moving pretty fast...Stay tuned. " And "Stay tuned" I will!
I will keep you posted as I get updates from Stockholm...
