Did he cut 7 inches off the top section of each tube and then shorten the springs?  ::)

I like how he put the welds where the tubes sit in the clamps.  Hidden and helps it from snapping in two.  Que the banjo music.  ;D

Would be interesting to build the biggest shitter ever from ebay butchers, the shark fin sprocket and these forks would be a good start. The tragedy is someone out there is chasing a good set of forks for his 480 :'(

Hey Lozza, I reckon you are on to somthing . . . . . is there a forum member that has the time to assemble such a beast?

Forum members could donate butchered, well rooted bits and as a collective we could spawn/give birth to the monster of all monsters.

Could be fun and a better subject than Avatar policing . . . . . .  ;)

Cheers #87
