Halson Inversion Forks

I think I still have a pair of NOS boots for these. They are clear though, not black.

If you could pm me a picture that would be great

nice overhaul of the Halson Fork.
I still have to do the same with the one in my bike cave.

Now a bit late for you, but just came across a brochure from 1993 showing a bit of insights:

Bought them...currently restoring them.

Boots cleaned and fitted ( Thanks Wesmamyke). The forks are now fully functional but now need cosmetically improving. Don't know if the fork legs under the clear boots would look better in black?

Quite the transformation! I never realised the fork boots went all the way down the fork, but seeing them in the clear material makes it really obvious lol! I think the legs would look better in black, as the silver breaks the fork up in a weird way that the black boots hides.

Really cool fork, and great to see one saved

I quite like the contrast between the black and silver, shows off the separate parts better. The crown looks grey in the picture, i think it would look better the same black as the lower legs.

The crown will get a coat of matt/satin black as in the words of Visage...It has faded to grey. If I don't paint the upper legs they will get a clean and polish as they are alloy. I am thinking of getting the brace anodised to match the intended project but haven't made up my mind
