I have thought about modifying a thru-axle for a front guard more or less like this, but the crown attachment point bugged me too much. I really want a solid solution.
So bought a secondhand fork which I (still) need to modify. Plan is to epoxy stainless nuts on the legs and a short flat head M5 at the crown and fasten it with a nyloc nut.
This way I would have a dedicated "winter" fork, so I can just swap the whole thing out during winter/summer maintenance. Might also add a complete brake and shifter assembly to speed this up.
Failed to get it done for this winter, don't have any time to do any riding anyway, but hope to have it done end of this year!
