Well, after the first run out with the SuperBug 2 at BLS a couple of weeks ago, bearing in mind the beach was as smooth as a billiard table, I felt
the ride even with Eurotrax on was quite hard when hitting the ruts.
(note) I have been spoiled for the last 18 months or so, using the leading link, you forget just how good this system is, it just irons out
everything, make a much smoother ride, and 100% less stress on the legs and body of the pilot.
Even on the smooth beach at BLS, it felt like I was running on wooden wheels, and before you say anything, I don't have my tyres that hard.....I must
have turned into a wuss or something, as I was aching like mad the next day or two.
Well immediately on my return, I set to work on the new front end, I started with the yokes, oh how I would love to have a plasma or laser cutting
machine, I hand cut these offset yokes with nothing more than a 4 1/2" cutting disc, that took a full day alone, then set to work on the rest of the
forks.
After three days work I have finished the new front end, and I am so pleased with how these forks turned out.
Note the splash guard is only a temporary one made from lino, and it worked remarkably well

Popeye, your work is other worldly. I can't comprehend ending up with a finished product like that starting with pieces of tubing and sheets of
steel. :bigok:
