I am gonna use the old forks off the Firecat. The bike will have a theme to match the seat. I have some other simple ideas. This will be a pretty simple build. As long as I can get the parts to all fit together.!

Well I have my hands full at the moment. I also ran into a problem. The Chopper frame I have is missing the parts in the head tube to hold the fork bolt in place. I have found that those parts are impossible to get. So I am gonna have to try to rig something up or scrap the whole idea. So I may have to drop out of this one! But I still have some time!

Talk to oneadamtwelve, he has bought those plastic inserts I think? I am pretty sure you can get them at a hardware store.
