When I restored the '73 Super Course, it had a black powder coated (I think) fork and I wanted chrome tips like the original. I found an all chrome $39 Rampar NOS Tange fork on Ebay. Both forks have crowns with three points pointing down and the reach and rake look identical. I thought I had a picture of the Rampar and Tange marking on the steerer, but couldn't find it. It rides very well, but is a little tight getting the wheel in and out. No idea of actual mfr. I know it's not a type original to the Super Course, but looks OK to me and rides fine.

Black fork, as found, with three fender eyelets per side

NOS Rampar Tange all chrome fork, after paint, only one eyelet per side.
