Dec 9, 2001 7:45 PM | | Hi, no I did not post any threads or questions previously, so I really appreciate the time you took to post all of the pictures for me. They really help me to get an idea of what i need to do to get the job done. I am using the UD150 so it should all work the same I think. The only question that I have is if you just make the top section where the guard is not secured, snug, but loose enough for it to slide. Is there any trick to get it to be snug witht he movement, but without any of the associated rattling. thanks |

Dec 9, 2001 9:45 PM | | the dropouts of the stratos S8 are circular (like the stanchions) down by the axle, so I was able to use a 1.5" peice of black abs tubing, about 2" in length, and then what you actually see is the 2" abs tubing that sits on top of the smaller diameter tubing, and the 2" tubing is about 10" long, and then at the dropout I used metal clamps to hold them in place. I had to cut the tubing down the back so it would "expand" over the legs, and I had to cut the 1.5" tubing as well so it would fit, but that does not matter much, since I tightened it all in place with the metal clamps.
This may not work for all forks, in fact it is only due to the dropout design that I was able to do it this way with the S8, you might have to get inventive. |
