Found a vid of it in action.  Girvin is leading arm, Hurrycat is trailing arm. 
Looks pretty cool but the overlap on the frame in a tight corner is scary.  Not that you would be doing a big hit at full lock...

wow, I love the oddball looks of these forks, much like the Crosslinks ;D   
These forks are a bit later than Girvins though, is there any particular reason why linkage forks like this are not around much these days?

Girvin quit making them back when JC was corporeal and Hurrycat quit making theirs in 2001.  There is a high-zoot custom motorcycle with the design though.  http://www.cac-tv.com/2009/06/edward-jacobs-confederate-motorcycles-talks-about-sharon-divine/

The oddball looks is what killed them off.  Everyone who has ever tried mine likes the way the fork handles.  They just don't like the look of it.  More like the fear and loathing of the other more conventional fork owners I think.  Travel is short too and that is a major problem with newer forks offering a lot more travel for the dollar.
