Extra long HIC shim for MGP?

[Ride By]

Im building a new setup and and am going threadless, with an MGP deck, Lucky forks and Lucky Oversize bars. I want to use HIC, so could I make an extra long shim from a piece of aluminum tube. I could also use ICS and standard bars, but I know HIC smashes ICS.

perhaps you could email lucky/tsi and they'd sell you an extra long shim?

or buy a piece of 1-1/4ths inch tubing off onlinemetals and cut a slit down it

you could just cut the fork.. its stronger if you cut it as the bars wont have as much leverage to break/bend the forktube.

I would, but if i get a new deck im screwed. would a piece of an old standard bar work.

Make your fork weaker, yes, but your bars will be stronger because there is less stress on the slit, so your bars will not crack.

^^^ I did this for my Nitro. TSI will hook you up right. Just tell them exactly how long of a shim you need (measure it and find out how long it needs to be) and they'll cut you a custom shim.

And BTW the fork being longer doesn't make it more prone to bending, the bars are still anchored to it in the same place.
