Hey guys. Well, the bug has officially bitten me and now that I have my 1989 Wicked, I know the quiver is only going to grow bigger in time. While I do really want to find a clean Yo Eddy, right now I'm looking to find a source for someone that can help me swap out my unicrown fork.
I've searched the forum for info on reproduction forks and have seen that some of you have had them made. While I really would like a box crown fork to keep the bike looking "period correct", as you guys say, I really like the way the BOI forks look. I used to have a suspension corrected fork from Spooky Cycles that looked just like it and I really love that look. One question on that though, would the geometry of the BOI work well on an old Wicked??
Also, Could someone let me know who I need to contact from the old days of Fat that can build one for me? I haven't seen that the box crowns can be remade but info on either would be helpful. Also, anyone who has purchased one, about how much money would it set me back?
Thanks everyone for your time and help. I feel like I'm flooding the board but I am still new to the game and your insight has been awesome.
