I see your point  :daumenhoch: but where's the fun in that  :LolLolLolLol:

Anyway, fookin about with this gives me an almost valid excuse for not getting on with work  :LolLolLolLol:

pickle:
The 'fun' as you say will probably end in 2 ways, 1 you make your very nice looking WTP bike look shyte.......and 2 you pull the brake to do an endo, the whole lot fails ending in you hurting yourself and your nice blue forks completely fooked.

oldschoolace:
Thanks for all the comments guys.  :daumenhoch: I share you concerns, hence the thread, but if i dont try we will never know  :D  ;D 

oldschoolace:
Fooking well pleased with myself today.  :4_17_5:




I cut the large hole with a woodworking spade bit  :shocked:
Took a good 15 minutes for each hole but was bob on when done  :smitten:

You can't beat a bit of home brew engineering.
Daft question, are you going to do anything to stop them from spinning round under braking after a while?
Well apart from making sure they are nice & tight. What about attaching some kind of horse shoe shaped plate at the rear of the forks attaching them together? Obviously it's your modification and your bike, just an idea to throw into the pot.
