Great site, lotsa knowledge and stuff to inspire budding hobbyists. Would just like to share another option in the search for dbug front suspension. I know alot of you have tools and/ or access to a shop. This was an attempt at trail tamer style forks. All dimensions were pretty much eyeballed from the pics I found on here and the web. If you have access to tube bender great. You can also bend tube by making small notches in inner radius of bend and heating fork(tubing) to get it to bend easy.

Picked this tubing up from salvage yard for a few bucks. Insert Photos and Images Then just cut up some tabs.
These are the shocks from northern tool, says for mini bikes on the box but damn are they stiff.
Fork bolted up 3/8-16 bolts, lockwashers, etc
I had high hopes for this set up but having never ridden this type of fork I have no comparisons. My build is pretty hodgepodge and like I said eyeballed. There is some physics involved as far as pivot points and rake I guess. Hell I just wanted a softer ride. End result, it's an improvement just not as cushy as I hoped, may need to change shocks. Cheers and thanks again for the great site.
