[edit] Motorcycle Fork vs Fork Tube

It seems that the whole assembly (triple clamp and fork tubes) is called a fork. The BMW, Ducati, and Moto Guzzi web sites all give specifications for the forks on their bikes without mention of "fork tubes".

This also allows for an article to incorporate other fork implementations such as spring forks and BMW's Telelever fork that do not use traditional telescoping fork tubes.

Finally, Dictionary.com lists one definition of "fork" as "the support of the front wheel axles of a bicycle or motorcycle, having the shape of a two-pronged fork." -AndrewDressel 18:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leading Link and Trailing Link forks

I don't know who the mysterious M-72 is, but I appreciated and learned form his additions to [this] motorcycle forks page. He should make himself known! -Jeff dean 15:10, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
