The problem with the sport mags is not enough people want them. Even the originsl ones on Ebay took forever to sell. I think it is because you have to put them together. I have a rim strip if you want to cut your own mag plates. Bring the cutter your hub and they can match it. You can use a 3 speed hub or a kickback hub. I tried a 5 speed but had problems with the offset. Then the rim strip is made for a Schwinn rim. I tried Schwinn, Huffy, Murray rims and all circumference are slightly different. I fit one in a Murray rim but not a Huffy.
I'm going to do some promoting for you and try and stir up some interest.How about a paid pre-order to fund them once people see the other products you're putting out?
I had thought of that before. I really don't want people to put up money in advance. A promise is good enough most times. I know stuff comes up and ideas come and go. If I know X amount of people want them I could make them and handle any who changed their minds. I think they could be made for 100 dollars in steel or 150 in stainless as a kit. I think if you had a truing stand they would be easy to mount. I always eyeballed it and there was always a little wobble.
Wow, i might be in for a pair too. Cant wait to see these
Fork tubes are bent and ready to go to the welder Friday morning. Funny thing happened when bending the tubes. I bent the first tube and matched it to the ones pictured and It was nowhere close. I was starting to panic because I couldn't figure out what went wrong. I even took the die out and tried to put it in wrong...lol Then I got out a tube traceing I had and it matched up perfect. I didn't notice the fork tubes I already had bent were only 30 degree bend not 60 degree like the Top Fuelers....lol Case solved.

The Forks are back from welding. Just have to clean up the welding blue and over all polish. They look really good. I am very happy with the work.
The top plates are not installed. I am just using one top to check the forks. They will be fresh from the polisher when you get them.
Here is the human robotic welding work.
