At the Ollies in my town they have a 16" girls model of an OCC Sting-Ray. I believe the front wheel on it is a 20" which leads me to my question. Has anyone put the triple-tree forks from one of these on a standard cantilever style Sting-Ray? I was thinking of grabbing it, but don't want to waste my time or money if it won't work. I have no other use for a pink Sting-Ray chopper! :)
 
Yes, they fit just fine with some simple mods... in my case I shortened the headtube to match the orig length of the Sting-ray headtube, I also clearanced the inside of each fork leg to clear the spokes on a 26" wheel.

My dyno roadster has one of those on it. The lower tripple tree comes pre-raked, so you'll ahve a raked out bike without modifying the frame, and it's fairly simple to do... I'll take pics and post more tomorrow about what to look for/do... My dyno came this way, or else I'd already know...
 
Well, I went and forgot my camera at work last night so I didn't get any pictures... But here's a link where this process was discussed before, and the dyno in the picture with the chopper fork is actually the one I own. I traded some bikes to MonsterMetal for it. I'll try to remember my camera tonight...
 
so if i take the chopper forks off my occ chopper that has the 24inch front wheel on it, how hard will it be to convert it to a 26inch schwinn frame?

At most, you'll have to cut the excess steer tube off the bottom below the lower triple tree. Sorry... I haven't taken any pictures yet... But it would go on the exact opposite of how it came off... There is plenty of clearance for a 26 inch wheel in there... And it is gonna rake it out a bit... Which is cool if that's your thing... I would just go for it man. I'll try to take pics tonight if it's not too dark when I get home... You can't see much here, but here's my Dyno with the ChopRay fork and wheel... It's a big pic so you can see as much as possible...

lemme get this straight. so if i have to cut off the bottom of the middle tube, how do i get it off? granted ive never taken the fork off the bike, is there some sort cap thingy on the bottom? guess i just need to man up and take the dang thing apart.

I think the older schwinn frame headtube is going to be too small.
