Broken huh? yeah I broke it...
and I keep going back n forth in my head...
I think I'm gonna cut it and get the rake on, cuz I like the way the fork looks but it lifts the frame quite a bit.

Hack away brother .

Smaller front wheel

Ya know... I forgot and I can't believe that anybody hasn't pointed out... there's no Kota bend! Even my buddy @KOTA forgot me.

That would defeat the stretch.

That would defeat the stretch.

How so?
Pushing the front wheel out lengthens the look. V1 forks had the bend...

I guess you'd lose the height?
Not sure that counts as a defeat though.

 

[Fv2]

I thought you were going more for a long fork, not so much curved.

 

[kingfish254]

I like the new fork, but I liked the sweeping curve of the v1 fork better. It still looks cool though.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Bingo. Kota bend even allows me to use the V1 truss rods.

Carl.

 

[Verrt]

That looks great, Carl. Best forks yet.

 

[kingfish254]

Perfection!!!!!!
I love the way the space between the forklines and the trusslines is a flipped mirror of itself.
Better trail too.

I stand corrected.

Looks good Carl!
Was trying to figure out what the 'Kota bend' was, now I remember.

 

[arty dave]

Great proportions and angles all round! This thing looks like it's flying standing still...

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Haha, I had the dragster front wheel on there too! Not sure about the redwall though... I do enjoy building like this, and I mean building but not quite sure of the EXACT outcome until it's done.

Carl.

 

[toro1978]

I like it better now. It was elevated way too much, with too much weight on the rear wheel. It would have been probably quite unpleasant to ride curves.
I also like the bent fork better, it matches the frame curves nicely.

I think it's the handle bars

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

I like that new fork, along with the truss rods.
Any chance the seat guts can be flipped to hide them and bring the seat down closer the seatpost?
It kinda looks like it’s ‘barely balanced’ on there.
Just my .02 though...[emoji16]

Well, I want the height, but there might be enough post to flip the bracket and raise it an inch. We'll have to give it a shot.

Carl.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Ok here's the seat guts flipped. A couple shots from last nite that I lightened up... and a few pics of the BMX neck. I also cut the raised center out of my bars to fit. Made them an inch and a half narrower but I can flip them now if I wanted. [emoji88]
