Battistini Custom Cycle: Orange, California based designer Rikki
Battistini’s ‘Leading Axle’ fork legs take their inspiration from 1970s
motocross. They feature an axle that is offset over 1 1/2” forward and
around 1/2” lower, “to give a perfect trail when fitting a 23” front wheel
to any touring bike.” Described as a “true bolt-on part,” ‘Leading Axle’
fork legs simply replace the stock lower legs without the need to remove
the fairing, trees or change the frame geometry – “the ‘Leading Axle’
fork leg has the corrected trail built right into the leg.” Utilizing the stock
brakes, fender and all fork internals, Rikki says they can be replaced in
under two hours; www.battistinisusa.com
