My friend @indycycling introduced me to this thread after showing me the fork on his bike. I am interested in trying to make a set as a project. You mentioned that you had the pattern for the top and bottom plates earlier in the thread, to save me some design time can you share them with me? thanks Chuck

Wore out three sets of tires already!
Hey Chuck,
I can do a few things for you. I can send you the plate info with the plate size and hole sizes off sets ect. The fork tube are bent to 60 degrees on a 7 inch center line radius. (7" CLR) I had a special die made for this. You can also use straight tubes to make a cool chopper fork. I also have a "kit" to make these forks. They are stainless steel so they can be polished to a mirror finish. You get top and bottom plates 2 fork tubes bent, steering tube, black caps for fork tube ends. Instructions on how to build them and my phone number. You will have to polish the parts weld them. Drill and round the fork tube ends. Repolish after welding to remove the welding blue. The kit is $350 shipped. Top fueler drag forks should bring $1200 to $1500 now. 2 sets of California Chopper forks aka Whiz Kid forks sold on Ebay for over $900 a few months back.

@Jaxon, Thanks this is a good start.
Forgot to mention fork tubes are 3/4" x 120 wall. If making straight tubes you can use 065 walled tubing. You also need to use seamless tubing because seamed tubing splits when you press the ends. You need a 100 ton press to press the 120 walled tubing..... Yes 100 ton! LOL

Thanks for sending me the Top Fueler decal Jaxon!

Here is my chopper with original fork it’s a work in progress - sourcing a Hangman sissy bar, having black/white checkerboard banana seat made, adding black Stingray decal kit. Think the rear knobby will be replaced by a Slik, maybe even a whitewall. I like the look of the skinny Fastback wheel up front

It's a 64 Stingray frame that was stripped and clear coated when I got it, seemed to be a great match for the chopper fork along with the mag wheel I built up
