New School "moving to finished"

[tin machine]

you are right it does flow well !! looking good

[dogdart]

True, but it flows and will help with Kickstand mounting. All you will see is a bolt head.

not if you weld a bolt on underneath , like a stud . then you wouldn't see the head

I thought of this too, but I didn't mention it because I couldn't think of any kickstands that would bolt onto a stud that way.

Ah man! I just drilled the hole. That's what I get for not checking my thread periodically.

That's a great idea so I went back and looked at things. I need an 8mm Allen bolt because a hex head won't fit if I run the bolt upside down. I can bust out the stick welder and fill up the hole if it all lines up.

Stinking lowes dosent carry any Allen M10 x 1.5 bolts only hex heds. Got to go to home depot tomorrow and try there.

The gusset is ready to be welded in, but if I am going to do the stealth kickstand mount trick I have to weld stuff on first.

I am going to weld a small square over the hole then the bolt onto that. Then from the top I can fill it in with some filler rod and grind it smooth.

iv had good turn outs when looking for bolts and what not at ace hard ware.... its worth a shot if you have one in your area.

Ok I will try online if the depot dosent have this bolt about 2" long.

Lawwill Leader is leading the way. A true classic returns for some pavement pounding and off road action. I owned this fork back in 95, but sold it on a bike at the time. I had a chance to trade a vintage fork for this retro gem and its never leaving this bike. big thanks to DirtyDave Gowjobs!

Sweet! Going to be a tight fit with that short steerer. You going to trim the headtube, or extend/replace the steerer?

[tin machine]

front fork is major sweet , i like it

[bighit]

I have figured out a way to extend 1 1/8 aluminum steerers without replacing or welding on extensions.

That's the next big lesson in, New School!
