Powder Keg:
I do love it when a plan comes together :med:

I started smoothing up my welds. I think I got plenty of weld on here:o) Only a little bit more left to come off\o/ I still wanted some on there after they were smoothed up.



Thanks for watching:o)

Brass_Machine:
I dont pay attention for a few days and you get a lot done!

Love watching this build...

Powder Keg:
I am a dang  :med: genius!!! I've been trying to come up with  a jig to hold these forks while I braze them together. It came to me like a bolt of lightening :zap: While I was on the toilet :D :D :D

Stay tuned:o)

Powder Keg:
Ok, I've been putting off building the jigs for the forks because I had way over engineered them. I had all kinds of welding and machining involved. The other night while on the crapper It came to me:o) I couldn't believe It would be so simple.

I laid out the spacer I had made earlier for the fork ends and drilled and tapped it.



Then using the all thread that I used to hold the forks while welding. I bolted the whole lot together.





I have something similar planned for the front forks. It will be a little more complex though.
