ok, i was riding along the side of a highway on about a 25 degree sideways angle, and i was behind my two buddies on dirtbikes, and my left rear tire hit a rut and my front tire slid out, and i smoked a 4" square post at about 50 km/h. i badly spranged my left wrist, slightly spranged my right, hit my right arm on the post (i wuz leaning to the left tryin to bring it back, so i didnt smoke the pole myself) and i bashed my right knee on the post and the trike, and hit my right foot on something and got a bruise on it. because i wuz leaning to bring the trike back, i flew over the handlebars and missed the pole when the trike hit. the trike hit dead on, and i bent the forks back about an inch on the left tube and 3 inches on the right, i smashed my front fender and headlight assembly up and smashed my ignition switch. i bent the right footpeg back and the right rear rim. it still runs and moves and simply needs new forks, front fender, headlight assembly and ignition switch. so in shop class at school, im going to build some stiff forks out of solid steel, and i need the dimenions of the fork stantions. im making them 26" long, and leading axle, so i need the tube width, and axle carrier widths. i cant buy any parts as this is a low budget rebuild and 10 bucks for steel isnt bad, i have new honda rims and hubs for the rear, then im selling it to get a dirtbike or possibly a friends 250r if hes willing to sell. so i need the fork stantion(upper) width and axle carrier width so i can build this thing properly. and just for the record, i am very well and have minimal injuries from this accident, which could have resulted in death if i had not been leaning and smoked the pole. so please find me these widths so i can get her goin and sell her for a dirtbike. thanks for your help, peace out.
