In an effort to increase their sales in the United States, [[BMW]] abandoned the Earles type leading link forks used for many years, for a modern [[telescopic fork]]. Also an all-white color was optional, which helped to jass up the basic 1950s design. BMW virtually invented the hydraulically damped telescopic fork, putting it into production in 1935. Today the majority of motorcycles use variations of this fork, with the exception of BMW, who have developed alternative designs. | |||
