Kempe Grejt! It turned out really cool! Though I liked the first set of forks best, I might have to steal the idea from the new ones!

Thanks for the comments all! It morphed through different visions but is pretty close to how I generally thought it would look.
Actually it is pretty comfortable to ride. I do move the seat up a few inches when riding though... thus the adjustable seat clamp.
With the gears you can make the hills rather easily without standing up as well. The wide bars make a comfortable grip/stance as well.
If anyone is going to use the shock idea for a fork I get a commission..
- Ha, just kidding of course VicXsan.
Honestly I would recommend a lighter spring since the existing 750lb version does not allow much movement.
There might be some automotive valve springs that size that would work better??
I'm sure you could take it to the next level as well VicXsan and make it look much nicer!
Thanks again everyone
