You going to get them hard ano'ed? The ano on one of the fork legs looks a bit worn too. Great job, anxious to see the rest of the story.

Nope, because that would require money. Money that I do not have.

Very niiice, really dig the way you set up the clamp screws... looks way lighter than anything OE.

it is so much easier to get forgiveness then it will ever be to get permission.

Figure out if you can sell sets of those triples for a profit.  It could be a side business for you to help you through school.

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

Those look sweet.  Don't mean to rain on your parade, but won't those bottom triples collect water and dirt in those holes.  Or am I looking at the bottom of the lower triple?

OT

Those don't look safe to me....better send them here for proper disposition, lest they fall into the wrong hands and someone gets hurt [drink]

What did you do for the final finish step? is that bead blasted?

Yes they will. That is one disadvantage to this design. They will however get little drain holes.

Yep with glass bead.  Not sure what the final finish will be, something cheap, probably paint.

Turned my eccentric clamps and welded them up.

Have you not cut the clamps yet or is there something I'm missing in the pics?
