Search "star nut installation".

You won't find "compression system" because I made it up specifically for scooters and there is nothing else like it except for BMX compression bolts which are very similar.

hey when are you gonna be shipping out the next shipments cuz i placed an order for a fork and system. also i didnt really wanna know how to install it i just wanna know how it works. like what exactly does it do to keep your headset all nice and stuff.

check it you put the star nut into you bars were the fork goes. then when you put your bars on you put a bolt from the bottom of the fork that goes up threw the fork and into the star nut. once you tighten the bolt the star nut will pull your bars down into the compression ring on your headset then you have a snug scoot and no wibble wobble then tighten your clamps. i hope that made sense

do you hit it up into the tapered part? because i dont think the bolt will reach if i do... i think thats what i did wrong the first time. ugh i know i did it wrong but i dont know how i did it wrong

i must learn from my mistakes!

That's why there are two diffirent sizes of starnuts one for oversized (RADs, SS bars etc), and one for standard (Razor).
