Know your Teledraulic forks


Inspired by the BMW telescopic fork introduced in 1935, in 1937 Associated Motorcycles Corp. ordered a set for "evaluation". Development led to the introduction of AMC's version in July of 1941 and they were immediately installed on the War Department G3Ls. Postwar, other manufacturers made their own versions so AMC were unable to capitalize on their head start. 

Used to modern forks without even drain plugs, I like the oil level screws.

  Meanwhile BMW moved on to Earles forks. A few years later, modern suspension came to the rear end.
