one way is to find a set of donor forks and cut off top section and weld in new piece,just make

sure you do the join near the bottom or you will struggle getting a stem in :daumenhoch:

here's a pair i extended the steer tube by 1"

Good heads up on the stem insertertion if I ever have to do this, it hadn't crossed my mind that.

If your cutting of the tube and welding is precise, then you will not have a problem with the stem; even if the joint is just below the threads.  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
