stock razor fork reinfocement ?

[James Shaheen]

Does anyone know a way to reinforce the sides of the fork cause ive been working on bri flips the last 2 days and ive already bent 2 pairs of them and i dont have the money to buy a FID fork yet so i was wondering if anyone knew a way to reinforce the sides

greg might know, i have no idea i wondered the same thing. but for now just stop trying them.

A while back people were drilling bolts in the front of the legs to prevent bending or if u got the resources, get small plates welded on like SZ forks,
but for the time being just keep bending it back.

While riding a stock fork myself, I also felt that running a 110mm wheel instead of a 100mm prevented further bending.

i didnt think u would be able to bend them back without snapping them

cut an old fork and weld both legs to both sides of the fork your using at the moment.

i cant i dont know how to weld and i dont have the stuff to weld

try the bolt thing. it quite helps. but yeah think of getting some aftermarket forks in the future

yea, they should be fine as long as you dont see any cracks. I was recently working on a friends scooter and the one leg got bent like 90 degrees (not from riding) but i threw it in a vice and made it perfectly straight.

And as for the bolting idea, just drill a hole to fit an axle or bolt at the front of the legs ( towards the top) so you will have enough room for the wheel to fit and tighten it up. The only problem is you might have to use a 100mm wheel instead of a 110.
