You are quite right, the bulbous mudguard is in fact good practical design - unsprung weight and good weather protection but you've got to concede that looks were secondary when they designed it! I enjoyed my pre war J2 whilst I owned it, certainly not a sports machine but very torquey and flexible.Richard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631151486253265842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734523550620209708.post-89753593285727568552018-06-21T05:15:08.690+01:002018-06-21T05:15:08.690+01:00Hi there, yes a good workhorse, I had a J myself i...Hi there, yes a good workhorse, I had a J myself in the 70's. Those forks were one of the best designs ever, made the Tri/ BSA designs look very primitive....<br />BTW, that horrible bulbous mudguard is in fact a much better design, as it is SPRUNG WEIGHT, not unsprung weight, as it would be if it were attached to the wheel [unsprung] as most designs are, mainly for aesthetic reasons....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742339655875652179noreply@blogger.com
