I see how it works, but it looks like you'd need longer forks or a shim with gigantic sized bars for it to work. And dialed-ness kinda seems impossible.

yaa and you weaken your fork by puting a whole in it

yea thats true you need a longer fork but the pin isnt supposed to be like a giant bolt, its just a little thing to make sure the spring stays down
well when i first read a little bit of this i thought he meant of kinda sort of ics
like spring instead of the bolt and then the other side of the spring attaches either to your bars or goes into a sort of hic shim therefore compressing your headset and pulling your bars down on the headset also keeping it compressed.
also you could maybe use a trampoline spring if it would fit......
i thought i the above idea before but cbf doing anything about it

^^^gave me an idea. Idk if this is what he's tryna say but I'll say it anyway.
You take an ics bolt, but make it a lot shorter, so it raises an inch or two above the fork when you put it in from the bottom. Then you put the spring on so it raises two or three inches above the fork (higher than the bolt). You then screw on one nut, then the top cap to your threadless headset, then another nut to keep it in place. The top cap thing will work kinda the same as HIC, meaning it'll press down on the spring (would be shim for HIC) thus compressing the headset, and holding the fork on.
No pins through the fork. So no weak spots.
Only problem with this is that you'd probably need to put a shim over the whole thing, meaning you'd need more oversized bars than oversized bars. Like 1 1/2'.

Eh, Sherrie Coe, rorys mum has a company, Dialled scooters or someting and yeh she had some sort of spring compression thing on her profile,
It's probably not what your idea is, but it sounds similair.

This sounds sick 
. And it doesn't look like it would be that hard to use.
