I picked up a 4" micargi fat front fork so i can go with a wider tire. the dropouts measure 145mm to the center of the metal dropouts. And i have ordered double walled 65mm from https://www.robsson.de/en/

update... there is no update. I had a front wheel made for me out of a rear freewheel.. and it's exactly the same disc hits the fork... it's to bad i waited a year and a 1/2 to install this fork. Monark had me reach out to a few motorbike people... 2 didn't get back to me... the third guy who...
