I just got done making some modifications to an elderly Model M.
I replaced the fork with a 30mm trail model meant for a 26" P/R. Then shod it with 1.75" Paselas and added a new Wald basket. I bolted the basket stays to the low-rider mounts on the fork. It seems to work OK and it's pretty clean.
But the big news is how the ride has improved. I just can't get over how much I like the feeling that comes from adding a bit of fork offset. The bike seems to steer itself.
Onward to my next project: my own 64 S/L.
