No one else has chopper pics or memories?

No pics, but I remember making a very flimsy set of extended forks for my Raliegh Twenty when I was a kid... I think I rode it around the block once, scared myself half to death, then promptly reinstalled the stock forks...

A few pics found on the interwebs...

I remember I borrowed a bike with some aftermarket chopper forks from a bike dealer friend of my parents. I was surprised at how hard it was to ride because of the steer flop. Took me a while to master it, but then I had to give it back. It was too cool for school though back in that day. Wish I had a picture of it.

No pics but we would take a set of hollow forks, cut them just below the crown and shove them to the end of another set, usually Schwinn Ashtabula. They looked cool but not very safe,we didnt give that a thought,LOL

Thats it!! Very cool, We'd sometimes put the extensions on backwards. Gave it more of a custom look. Great pic.Thanks for the memories.
