Are you sure about the fork? It looks like a Motopro.

I was told that they were speedos but might be wrong.

Re: 1978 Hank & Frank Force 1
I'll look for a picture of the Motopro forks but it may take a while. In the mean time....(educated guesses are; it's a '78 team issue?):

Re: 1978 Hank & Frank Force 1
!!!!! Don't know Hank and Frank. Never even seen anything like this one. The yellow accents are wicked! I probably will never see one in person and the fact that it's a 78 loop tail makes this an instant FAVE for me!!!!!!!!! Beautiful...

I had this decal on my bike when I rolled it out of H&F bitd, except it was white over brown... I stupidly pulled it off when I was a kid, and wished I hadn't ever since. Been looking for one for years, but all I can find are the newer ones. This is the closest I've come to finding one... full blown Bay Area history in a decal - sweet!
