so after looking at the stingray(?)fork tubes i have decided to change my fork. am going to still use an idea that was given to me by Luke but not on the round stock so the design will use a part of this


and some rectangular stock!!

Yes! Been waiting to see this fork built! :dance2:
I am planning to use the idea at some point on a future build, so it will be cool to see how you approach it!

with excitement!! I think I almost sorta understand leaf spring stuff! will hit the steel yard soon! need to fix my wire feed also it no longer adjusts the wire feed rate but it does feed wire really fast. thinking messed up feed rate knob

ended up replacing the welder oh well, will be taking my daughter over to U of O tomorrow and will start the forks in a couple of days here is a pic. of her bike that she is taking with her. the cool tennis clamp came from Kingfish!!



sooooo, its time to get building!!

Troy
 
That racket clamp is perfect on Daughter Jats Raleigh! Wish her well at Oregon! I'm just glad you didn't paint the bike to match one of their uniforms! :p:banana::D
 
got the stuff and will start on the fork when I get off of shift in 2 days!!

Used heavy wall garage door shaft

spring

scrap metal


so will have a sketch of the fork design hopefully by the end of today. any ideas on a triple tree jig?

Troy
 
oh and also got a new set of jaw covers for my stand!! apparently they melt if your welding next to them.
 
wow cleaned out some room on photo bucket will repost the pics i lost!!

so cut the tube long and got the fork pivot points welded on today with luck I will get the rockers and the pull bars done tomorrow





a rough template for the rockers


the fork neck donor (keep the stock forks intact!)


Troy
 
If you delete pics from photo bucket does it delete the pics that you already have posted?
 
Hey, how many photos do you have, that you have to clear some room? I have a ship load of photos and it says I've only used 7% of my space...

Carl.
 
so got some more done today

Gratuitous spark shot



these are the rockers, tacked the 2 half's together until I get the final shape and holes drilled should be tomorrow


rockers laying on the fork blade on thew rong side but gives you an idea, the front end will be a rear pivot and should have 3-4 inches of trail might need to extend the rear drop outs to lengthen the wheel base for stability though



so will be home tomorrow and will try to get the leaf spring cut and the mounts for them ruffed out. also got the stem out of the donor forks but forgot a pic.
