More fork fixin!

When a swingset just won't do...

The bend was 90% in the blades themselves, and was notable. In my excitement, I did not get a "before" pic. See how the ram is about 2 & 1/2 in extended; it started at less than 1/2 in extended. This was a severely bent fork.

Only 103 today; a bit of a cool spell. :wink:

Very nice.

Amazing that the hud doesn't roll.

I have a 'die' from my tubing bender that would keep that in place.

BTW do you find that Park stand to be adequate for a fully built out ballooner? I've wanted one but have been hesitant about whether they are solid enough for a heavy bike.

The top plate at the end of the ram has an X machined in. The grooves are about 1/8 in wide, but enough for the job.

Yes, this stand is a nice piece of equipment. Possibly the best $200+ you will ever spend.
