Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2007 4:04 pm Post subject: Nose Gear Fork Modification

I've seen a post or two where folks are contemplating modifying  their nose gear fork by trimming off the bottom and re-welding the  joints.  If the fork is re-welded then don't forget that it  will have to be heat treated again, as it was originally.  The  material is 6061 aluminum.

  

 As an aside, I'm planning to build a whole new fork to accommodate a 5.00 x  5 wheel and tire and will need to find a shop where the  welding AND heat treating can be done.
