Anyone converted 1" forks to 1 1/8 steering tube ?

fugazi:
If it helps those style of forks were also used on the Mongoose AKA for some time & also on the K2 DMC Pro  :daumenhoch:

theRuler:
That white DMC is awesome.
Seat is a little high though.

Yes that pic was at MK11 and there were two of them owned by the same guy.
He had my problem, had to search for bars and forks. I have got the bars coming and now the search is on for the forks.
But there are two types of 1 1/8 bend forks, one with bosses one without.

Cheers guys and thanks for all your  help.

monkeybat:
An update the forks turned up today and the 1 1/8 steering tube slides nicely over the top of the threaded 1" tube. To secure the tube over the 1" was thinking of drilling a series of holes dowm the 1 1/8 tube then welding to the undertube. Thus securing tubes together then fileing down any bad parts for a flush fit.
For the bosses it will have to be some welding on the chrome but will rub down to bare metal the shine then polish then clear laquer(poor mans chrome)   
Any other  ideas will be listened to.

Cheers Steve.

None of that made any sense bud......

You have a loose 1 1/8th piece of tube, is that right? And you want to slide it over the original 1" steerer?
