Step 5 Separate the forks

Here are the front suspension forks taken apart (Photo 5). There is a long bolt that has to be removed under the plastic cap on each top end of the fork legs. Once the bolt is taken out, the forks just fall apart. Not much of a spring in each leg; it's no wonder why the suspension felt so weak. Toss the springs on your junk pile for some other evil contraption, as they will not be needed for this fork extension.

You may want to leave the horseshoe shaped bit of steel that joins the two lower fork legs together. This piece adds strength to the fork and prevents twisting. It may also help in aligning the extension when it is built, or be a great headlight, fender, or human skull mounting plate. I hated the look of this thing, so I promptly hacked it off, but it's your decision.
