Has anyone bought one of these? Allow you to slide the legs up/lower the front. 8-)

Yes, I bought one.

It works fine - it was a bit tedious to get polished to a nice shine. It is also very soft aluminum and scratches easy once you do have a mirror shine on it.....but a rag and some polish gets the mirror shine back.

I raised the tubes 1.5" and installed a 0.5" spacer in the forks to get a total of 2" drop.

Look in the Marketplace and you will find a thread where Spamytoo who built the first one of these is going to start making and selling them.

For less money and more work - you can get an extra bottom clamp and modify it to work as a top clamp. You have to cut the stem off, drill the bottom hole out to 22mm. You also need to cut off the steering stops if you want it to look better. It can be polished or painted or powdercoated.
