New Fork Reinforcing mod?

[WayFastRevo]

Its basically two peices of metal bolted to the fork by two bolts on the top and a longer axel on the bottom.

EDIT: the black parts are the reinforcements, they are sandwhiching the fork.

 

[jeff26]

already been done.

no if you look closer. the black part is the reinforcement and the silver part is the actual fork itself. the bolts are there to hold everything together.

 

[paddy_h16]

oh i see, but coedies idea would work the same

 

[Jon Reyes]

that wont stop it from snapping, just bending

 

[scooter justin 25]

ya

but good idea....ive done the bolt thing....jsut not the plates...i would do that...but im gettting sr fork and too hard to make

 

[fashow69]

yea at first i just saw the bolts thats allready ben done but the metal plates actually look pretty nice and strong, what kind of metal did you use and how did you shape it to your fork?

 

[Brian Boston]

Someone did the plates already too... i forget who though, someone out of the US.

 

[WayFastRevo]

ohh i didnt mean to copy anyone.

i got 1/16 inch steel and shaped it with my metal grinder

and yea it wont stop snapping but i think i will stop bending.

 

[Jdbug_rob]

its a pretty good idea, i was gonna do the same thing but im too lazy, with my next fork i will.

 

[D= its sam!!]

forget the bolts, WELD =D

 

[tomborsari]

uggh. i was just gunna do dat

 

[WayFastRevo]

[farmboy uk]

haha yea, saves time

 

[easter]

haha ,shortyjordy fork looks pretty good, although shortyjordy fork might still bend from down, ive used pretty much same system as coedie did and it didnt stop bending, yes it did stop bending from place where it bent but it started to bend alittle more down..
i think welding plates should help but shortyjordy plates looks damn strong, pretty much overkill i think

 

[WayFastRevo]

haha yea, saves time

not really it took me a hour to make it..
