Cool start, is the triple tree fork still strong enough without the top plate?

Its off a mountain bike, not sure but its a welded bottom mount time will tell. Ive seen where someone had done one and just added a piece at the top so i might do that to just be safe

Lookin' good Man :!: That looks like the same fork I used last year on my trike.Please trust me:you're gunna want the top clamp on the steer tube.Or a sufficient bracket.Especially if you mount a front brake for hauling around a pile of souls. :wink: Just a suggestion...
Have fun :!:

Love what you've done with the Murray Trans-formation!
I'm still dying for an idea on my 84 Murray.

Looks good, what are you going to do to bring some red up high in the front? Grips? Stem cap? It's just missing some red up there.
