Interesting, thanks. The trucker forks have a stupid 'lip' at the dropout that gets in the way if I flip the axle mounts. Figured I'd try some steel plate before before butchering the ones that came with it. I'll try and re-make the supports and replacing the fork crown strut in the new year and see if that fixes it.

As do the forks of my Straggler. I purchased these from SJS which do the job superbly and look exceptionally neat when cut down nicely.

Cheers, I'd looked at those but figured it was worth spending half an hour with the hacksaw and drill on some scrap first. Will order some in the new year and see if I can get this bike sorted.
