Thats great man, I made my firrst set of chopper forks the same way!! I never welded them either, Made for some Knarly crashes.. and Dang they flexx haha I loved it.
 
Yeah man,that takes me back!

Thats about the way we did it in the '70's around here!

Lotta times,no bolts.Just shove the extenders over the forks...

Glad to see theres some Johnny Cash fans on here!

Ghetto fab...

Sweet...

Ya we used to just hack saw off a set of forks and then BASH them on another set of forks. If that didn't 'take' in a secure manner (LOL :roll: ) you could 'shim' them with chunks of metal/screws/nails until firm. ahhhhhhhhh but we lived through it.

No body had a household welder in those days...now a lot of people I know have them...maybe the world is getting to be a better place?

:mrgreen:
