New H-D front suspension (leaf-spring)

Definitely different, if someone pushed it over it would be hard to find the damage. I think he would win in the different category in any bike show. I think he raided a ship engine graveyard for many of his parts.

After extensive surfing the net for quarter elliptical suspension, I found a very interesting website:

I'm thinking that one is a "knock-off" design of the other. Question is, which came first?
Personally I prefer the Jailhouse Choppers Hardtime.

On this bike I like how the builder has set the front end geometry up to ensure reasonable handling. Check out the angle of the frame neck, the centerline angle of the fork legs, and the angle drawn by the location of the axle. All these work together to create a reasonable trail figure. Good engineering, even if the looks might not be what someone else likes. But then some of us don't like stock-looking bikes with a smattering of bolt-on parts. To each ... blah, blah.
