thanks everyone. I live right outside of chattanooga TN. I did not take that picture. We got all the media hype too but I did not believe it, we very rarely get tornados.
Im sitting at the milling machine and all of a sudden it gets very dark and the building starts to rumble, I look outside and see about 4 fairly large trees take off. This lasts about 2 minutes. When everything calmed down we thought it was just a microburst and we went outside. Stupid I know.
Then we turned and saw the funnel cloud. I tried to take a picture of it with my phone but it was too dark. It was confirmed it hit the Chickamauga Dam, which is less than a quarter mile from where I was. Tore it up pretty good.
During all this mr friends R6 was still standing up. I couldnt believe it so I pushed it inside for his as all this happened during our dinner break and he was out to dinner.
I love storms.

That top triple really looks sweet. Are you going to hollow out the four "radial" holes on the bottom triple the same as the top?
Yep its going to match the bottom one. |

Truckin', did you use the OE steer tube on the triples or did you machine a new one?

I used the OE one but turned it down slightly in the center to loose some weight.

Ambient light. It was super foggy out and I used a long exposure. |

I hope so. They are just a prototype really. |

I was curious about the strength of the clamps as well, the slits look pretty small so I don't imagine they have much room to clamp incredibly tight. How does the size of the cut compare to other triples (stock, aftermarket?). |

The slit is smaller, but its on purpose. The bore of the clamps is the same as the fork diameter. With the clamps fully tightened there is still a gap, so the forks do get full clamping pressure.

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.
