I thought I remembered seeing a Redline catalog a few years back advertising a "motorcycle" type Flight fork. Did I dream this up? Does anyone remember the model # or if they even existed?

Thanks,

A couple of years back redline made a flight fork which looked like a hanibrink (sp?) fork. I'm NOT a redline expert & for all I know hanibrink may have made those forks for redline. They look like motorcycle forks with the legs coming up past the headtube on both sides & connecting to a plate on the top & bottom of the headtube if I remember correctly.

They were called Monster forks and they were triple crown forks.

They inspired from, but not built by, Hanebrinks.

i remember those, but not that name. seems to me they were called "flight" forks. i do remember they were double crown though. i also remember that john purse was pictured in a '99(?) bmx magazine with those forks attatched to a redline xlr8r. about the same time as the hanebrink and bombshell ones i think.
