Re: girder forks bottom yoke construction
the stem is from a standard gsxr which uses telescopic forks... the load is put on the bottom yoke, using it for girder forks where the load is more or less equal on the top and bottom yoke, that nut which origionally was designed for nothing more really, than to hold the top yoke in place, is now u...

Re: girder forks bottom yoke construction
or not.... well, i did some more thinkin' and decided, that 2 arms welded off the side of that disc, is still going to play on my mind ive ordered materials and once they arrive will asemble them in this kind of fashion, this should add more structural strength and give more area to get a weld on......

Re: girder forks bottom yoke construction
I won't, and it will play on my mind. what i meant was im looking for opinions from people here who have far more experience in engineering than myself and know better the strength a join like that would have as to whether it would be structurally safe .... however the first line of this post says i...

Re: girder forks bottom yoke construction
yea, but this stem is ready made,fits the head-stock,and the bearings drop straight in :D i was thinking about this yesterday and i think it will be strong enough but if not i can always get hold of some 60mm diameter steel bar, chop it out to required height, have somebody bore two holes in the sid...
