I had the bars pushed, that almost got me a knee full of gravel.If your turning down a dragstrip you're doing it wrong... Spring steering dampener and bars pushed out should get you down the 1/8 just fine.
Looks awsome.

If you aint bleeding you didn't try hard enough as mom always liked to say....I had the bars pushed, that almost got me a knee full of gravel.
oooooo, hydraulics....ooooooo....Maybe I'll try the hydraulic rods next time.
Some duck tape and a mean look daring anyone to question the aesthetic always works for me. But consider trying mount that spring farther of the stem... It'll hold mutch more load from the leverage....Tinkered around with a few stabilizer ideas.
A spring on one side is a bad idea.
I tried a spring in the center, similar to what OJ did on Beer Boy Delivery, it helped a bit.
I also tried a bunjee cord with a hook on each fork leg, that worked pretty well.
So then I mixed that idea with the center spring.
That took out nearly all of the steering issues, so now I just have to figure out an aesthetically pleasing way to mount all of this.

I looked again... OK so you have the exadurated movement from mounting the spring forward. If was done off the back of the steer tube, the spring is full sprung and settled at straight.Some duck tape and a mean look daring anyone to question the aesthetic always works for me.

Like old school non powered steer cars had bus size steering wheels to compensate... If you get it to mount even a half inch father out of are doubling the amount the spring needs to travle for the same amount of steer.. jut like grabbing a stem and twisting a fork vs the amount of movement required for the same degree of twist from out at the bar ends going to be a killer
Youll be good to rock...I didn't want to weld anything just yet, I hooked the spring to the front of the lower tree.
I'll drill and tap a hole under the steer tube for an eye bolt, then move the bracket further back and see how that works.
Brilliant idea!bonus points, u could chop up an old bike pump and cut sleeves for the spring if want fully hide it as a shock
I've got a pair I wanted to try, but they seem a bit big.Perhaps a pair of trunk lid tension rods.
Yes now it's not trying to pull to either side to relax... Reason I was suggesting the eye lay back twords the tube, is it makes the spring need to stretch as u turn the bars. The farther back the bigger the stretch and impact it will have. I suggest back so again spring under load and fully relaxed as I can get an wants to stay, will be straight ahead, if you go forward the spring will want to pull either side to settle as much as it can. The spring will be maximum extended if in front.... So it may seem balanced and sit straight but if u just nudge the bars it will want to snap to that side to compress the spring..Here's where I am with the spring.
You mentioned something about bending the eye bolt back toward the frame.
I'm wondering if it should be further forward? There isn't much movement in the spring as it sits in the pic.
But it is easy to ride now, and that's the point to all of this.
