Interesting video that brings back memories. I actually had the Skunk Works GP suspension on my '74 Husky 125 WR enduro bike. It was the cheapest way to increase rear travel as suspensions started evolving very quickly back then. More than a few of my friends laughed at the way it looked, but it worked pretty well.

Great info. Great video. So cool to see the ingenious engineering! Thanks you!

Love this! Truly fascinating. I had no idea of these developments. I owned a 1972 DKW with the Earles forks and for the most part loved it. Dick Boone of VanTech made some custom enduro frames with Earles or maybe better a long these lines. Main issue with the Deek's Earles was that travel was limited, though the forks dealt with it better than the swingarm in back. Was an absolutely awesome hill climb machine for a 125. Would have loved to experience these truly enhanced leading links. How we used to beat ourselves up not knowing any better before suspension improved so much! These innovations look like they might be worth bringing back even!

Rodger won that race I believe with that funky and groovy front end ?!.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel, great info and video! Liked and subscribed. : )

Great to see this technologi.

Insane technology

Lets not forget "Thorks" from Rich Thorwaldson,

Great video, mate. Super interesting.

There's a reason why its forgotten.
