NEW home made forks. SOOO SOLID

[tomborsari]

I took the front hangar/fork part off of my old Fuzion NX and shaved the middle part down ALOT
and now it looks like that ^ you just need to put a couple washers in each side of the wheel.. but its still SOOO solid
the fork tube is alot thicker than a normal fork, making it alot stronger, and the prong-like parts are also alot thicker.
another plus to this is that im pretty sure this is one part machined piece of metal... because i cant find any welds, and the part where the FSA headset race goes on, its like.... an expanded piece of metal at the bottom instead of a square-ish shaped thing (if tht makes any sense)

the only different thing with this is that it isnt off-axis... so it may be a little different at first (it didnt bother me) .. but it is AMAZING for nose mannys.. like... seriously AMAZING
lol

but please give me your opinions...

 

[FestonGross]

pretty nice.
think you could make it fit a 110mm?
if you could that would be soo sick.
and tell us if they ride good or not.

 

[scootcb]

Those are sick..and those look better than Take 2 forks. nice dude.

 

[tomborsari]

it could.. i would just have to file it down more

 

[scooterperu]

omg it looks SICK!!!! is it threadless?

 

[tomborsari]

nahh its threaded... but its so thick tht it doesnt evenreally matter lol

 

[conordavidson]

HOT DAMN. I need to get an nx asap haha.

 

[Hep Greg]

i was gonna do that a while ago, but i never got around to it. wha'd you use? a file?

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

they look heavy but nice!!

 

[AnthonyPellino]

when you sent that to my phone, I thought it was a take 2 fork. But now I know its not. That is insane. Love the wheels too

 

[FestonGross]

if you made it 110 would it make it weaker you think?
and yeah what did you use to file if down?

 

[JonnyJonDogg]

erm it wouldnt make it weaker i think it would make the legs more likely to bend, but the design looks like its impossible to bend the legs lol

 

[FestonGross]

sick, im gettin one probably.

 

[blindscooterboy]

those look really sick

 

[tomborsari]

yeah.. i took a grin\der to it first, but the grinder was too small, so i ended up filing it down on and off for like.. 3 hours
haha

and i could make it 110, i just dont feel like filing anymore
lol
it takes sooo long to make

 

[Joe Riley]

pure sex. i want one.

 

[tomborsari]

i might make another one and see how much i can get for it

 

[Joe Riley]

depending on the price id buy it. cant you get replacement NX front hangars? add like $10 to the cost of those for your hard work and sell them. that must be a pita to grind down though.

 

[mbillick1993]

i still like my sr fork better tom

 

[tomborsari]

yeah
its wayy too much work
lol
i dont really feel like doing it again unless its for good money
lol

thats just how you are.. i know you
haha
