Would I be safe to assume the original pivot pins are sufficently hardened? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hey guys, so I recently put together a shockmaster front fork and installed on my my current motorized bicycle project. I had to fabricate a couple little parts to complete it. The lower rods are threaded stainless steal and I custom made the bottom pieces where the wheel clamps from two nuts...

Well thank you everyone, not done yet but.. I got it bent more straight using the press at the auto body shop where my father works. Also beer can shim seems to work good, it's nice and tight on there now. I will keep everyone posted more work is to be done to the fork. Sent from my SM-G900V...

Can anyone take a close up picture of a complete one ? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I still think I'm missing a piece. Possibly a part that went on the very bottom and the the crown race would fit onto it. I don't think they make crown races 25.4 or ever did. Just thinking... it would be very difficult to remove and install because you would have to tap it down the whole...

Well I just called him and they have a press at his shop just like the one in the picture. I can go in on Saturday and try to get this thing straightened mostly. Using the press, what method did you use it to straighten the fork ? How did you rig it up? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

My dad's in the auto body business so I think I could probably access one of those. Thanks for the tip Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

And yes I now see it is stamped steel. I bought at a swap meet and first impression was that it was cast iron. Went home did research and saw someone label it as cast iron too. Didn't really do much investigating or think about it much. I'll let you guys know how it turns out. It doesn't need...

I think it's the actual tube that is bent slightly near the base. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Ya you may be right. I really don't know and honestly just assumed it was cast iron for some reason. I'll post some more pics of the underside tmrw. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

To be honest I don't know what it is for sure and I'm not sure off the top of my head how I could easily distinguish the two materials. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I would probably just set out to replace the forl tube but I'm not sure I'd be able to weld a steel pipe to the cast iron fork. I have a mig welder with mixed gas. I generally don't mind that kind of project... I could probably get the correct sized tube and thread it easily enough. Just don't...

By ride hard I mean I'm shoving a motor in there, HA! Speeds of 20-30 going over small bumps/road imperfections. It's probably fine as is, its seems strong enough and made of cast iron... and who knows how it got slightly bent originally. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Do you know where can I get the correct size race or a spacer/shim of some sort ? Also any ideas for straightening this fork? Also would be nice to strengthen/reinforce it as I plan to ride this bike hard, any ideas ?

OK thanks for the input. Im trying to install this old 50's shockmaster fork on my newer Schwinn cruiser that I'm customizing. The bike came with a reproduction schwinn style springer and I had hoped to just transfer all the head tube hardware over. It seems likes it will work but I can not get...

Hey, new to this stuff so forgive me. The crown race I have doesn't fit tight on my head tube and is not sitting perpendicular. I'm also not sure if my head tube is bent sightly foward and sideways, maybe that's why it isn't sitting "flat." Either way it's lose on there. The ID of it the crown...

Nice. Well I guess the seller did know what he had. I got lucky with mine and got it from ebay from a seller in Hungary. I was the only bidder @ 4 bucks + 3 for shipping. I guess stuff is cheap in Hungary! Thanks for the help lots of good info here. I'm not going for a USSR theme exactly but I...

I do have the correct springs I just would rather not pay to have them chromed at the moment. Maybe that's a little cheap of me but I'm also I don't need a show quality. So , if someone has a used pair floating around with decent chrome that isn't mostly gone that would be a good find for me...

Hey I just bought this on ebay from Hungary but I have no idea what it came on originally or when it's from. The title said "70's soviet russian glass and metal Russian bicycle headlight" but I have a feeling the seller didn't know anything about it. No description was given. Sent from my...
