I did that...without "massage"-ing the forkscarolina rat said:With the fork mod its actually low enough to use the pedal as a kickstand. Had to also remove the kickstand and use the same "massage" method on it as well so that it could be used again. Yes you can send sparks when turning.
Here is a pic of another set of forks I "massaged". I done these a little different, started close to the steertube and bent alittle, then moved out a little with the pipe and bent more, and continued doing this untill at the end of the fork to get a natural bend along the length of the forks. I will get together a gallery view of this bike. The fork is not tightend to the frame, this is why you see a gap between them. The key is to bend it below the steer tube so it still rotates freely. This does make it a little aqward to ride, sort of like a set of bent springer forks on a lowrider bike but not as bad. I totaly got used to it in no time. Caution I would try this on a pratice set of forks first, and only on blade style forks unless you use a conduit bender on hollow forks. 8)crash91 said:
I used no heat just dont bend it all in one spot, heat kills natural patina. Natural patina there is nothing better. Cant make any promisses but mine hasnt broke and i am at 205 pounds.GTCOMA said:
