Once a long time ago I think I saw one like this. (Earles Fork Type)
As I measure things it looks like this would lower the front end about 2 inches and allow use of both 18¨ tires
Before I try it please let me know if you have seen it or actually done it.
please do not respond if you do not actually know it works and what is involved
please no discussion of safety issues
I know the fork stem will fit the frame head but I do not know if the back of the fork will hit the front engine cover
as is the case when one puts a type 247 engine into a /2 frame
I have many both /2 and /5 /6 skelletons and am trying to get a lowered bike with no hydraulic brake parts
based on a 1970 or later frame rather than a conversion based on a /2 frame that will use 2-350x18 tires
I would rather not drag all the stuff around and bolt it up if someone already knows for certain if it will work or not.
