Hi Guys
Has anyone got a picture of a head steady that may have been fitted to a featherbed inter?
Too many vibes!
Cheers

Featherbed Inter
The head steady is a relatively flimsy affair but seems to do it’s job on the F/B Inter I own, with vibration fairly subdued even with pretty brisk riding.

but I have looked at a couple of Fbed Inters. The head steady is rather poor. It's a flat plate joining the tab on the top of the steering head to the one on the frame cross-tube behind the head. From half way along this flat plate, there is a tube which runs to the top of the cam box front right mounting bolt.
The featherbed frame needs a much more substantial brace than that. Something inspired by the Manx head steady will be structurally useful.
