Living in Canada since 1981. Parents bought the bike with us when we all came over.
got a silver/grey Grifter 1977 or so. Still in mom and dad's garage.
Been looking for original forks on and off for a bit. My bike's front end met the 'up' part of a downhill jump. Since we were already in Canada, couldn't find Grifter s--t anywhere.
glad there's a site. maybe somebody can steer me to the forks i need. I'll try to post pic next chance I'm at mom and dads.
Cheers R.
