cafoose 3,354 #1 Posted October 2, 2021 I just got my forks on my GT-14 FEL I got from @fast88pu @roadapples I found ACE hardware in Dover had lots of Regal Red so I picked up 4 cans and painted them I have lots of steel such as 4 or 5 old disk brake rotors, an old heavy flywheel off of a standard shift car, and some heavy steel cut off my fork attachment to make it fit my GT-14. I still can't pick up more than 3 or 4 empty skids without the rear tires starting to lift I guess I need more weight 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,809 #2 Posted October 2, 2021 Those are some massive forks! I’d imagine you’re lifting a couple hundred pounds empty? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never had the chance to weigh them but the guy that fabricated them for me said they're not much heavier than the bucket I think maybe they are I do have inside rear weights but not sure if @fast88pu filled the tires or not. I need to add weight somehow. The hydraulics seem to be able to handle it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm about average normal weight for my size 165 lbs. If I did diet and turned sideways and stuck out my tongue I'd be a zipper 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
