Fork for GT2A Frame

[runnermike]

What was bent? When mine arrived, the motor mount was not welded in the center.

 

[GasX]

Yeah the motor mount is slight off center, but more significant is the mashed rear dropout.

Wow, your frame arrived screwed up too?
The lower tab on the left rear dropout on mine is bent about 1/8" outward.
I am just going to straighten it out with a large Crescent wrench.
It's too bad they cannot do a better job of boxing these frames. They really have s**t for protection during shipping.

GasX...here is a pic of the forks. I think I have a longer steerer tube that'll work.

Are those the treatland mini moto bars? Thinking of getting them for my Klunker build.

Congrats on the steerer tube - haven't figured that out for myself yet... What is the actual length?

And what is your plan for the off kilter engine mount?

 

[runnermike]

The bars are from fly racing...motocross bars. Well, I couldn't find my other steere tube, but I did find this one

You think it will work? If so, I can cut it to fit at my work.

 

[runnermike]

O...haven't quite figured out the off centered mount yet....when I do I'll give ya a heads up.

Or this one

I'm assuming the Alloy is better than the CroMo???

I am going to go with the cheaper of the two. It is almost the perfect length and threadless are easily trimmed. My only concern is that the stock one for the triple tree fork is one piece with a slightly (1/16") wider base. The ones you linked looks like a shim is used to get the extra width. fingers crossed...

 

[runnermike]

I think it's referring if you get the 1" it comes with a shim, but hey, I've been wrong before.

GasX....I got my new steerer tube today. It's the cheaper of the two links I posted. Fits like a champ! Just need to cut it to size.

I am in the same boat, but first I net to figure out the frames headset. The parts are spread out on my bench and there is at least one I can't figure out where it goes...
