grind that part down until you have the angle you desire. they way to put the bolts in is

at the part you grinded down. grind alittle and check and keep doing that untill it is as you want it.

you dont need to grind anything, at least i dont think so. use an 8mm bolt in the front and a 10mm bolt behind the headtube.
 
You're missing a bolt kiddo.

The reason nobody likes them is it's a lot harder to tailwhip and it takes a lot of work to get solid. I like steep, but not vertical.

When you dont have the top bolt it moves and creaks. Just use an old a headtube.
He fixed it, he was creative, and actually helped out for one. My headtube is at like, 87 degrees, its a thicker bolt in the back than normal and a smaller one in the front. but his is a way to actually get 90 degrees.
You've earned some of my respect, at least.

I own SR.
That does not look like 90 to me. Are you just guessing or did you actually measure the angle? because I have never seen anyone riding a TRUE 90.
 
Haha, I've actually ridden 90 degrees. I took pictures and measured the angle in photoshop. It was by far the most uncomfortable feeling scooter ever.

im just estimating. before i grinded them they were obtuse. i was trying to get 90 but grinded like a 1/4 a mm to much. so its like 88 or 89. its a bigger angle then it looks like in the pictures.

damn i cant find my sd card. ill look for it but for now yea. its like 88 degrees
