Default Tie down fork block

It's been discussed here before. I trailer my bike alot and since I have had my front forks resprung and revalved I'm more concerned with keeping the seals in tact. I never have liked the "block of wood" for a fork block and I ran acrossed these. I ordered one and to my pleasure it is one of the nicest pieces I have ever come acrossed for the money. It is billett aluminum, has clips for the front forks to keep it in place and works really well.

Some may think that it is pricey, but afterI got it and saw the quality I thought that it was a steal!

Thanks Gary - looks pretty sweet, I just bought one. I'll use it on DirtSurfer's new bike for when we meet up to complete the transfer.

Deej, it looks like you spent hours cutting, sanding, drilling, polishing, and varnishing that. That's not free, even if you didn't spend any money.

Now, DirtSurfer's, his looks like it was "free". No offense, Dave.

Yea time is something, but it took me an hour from start to finish, Gotta love that Deft spray, 10 minutes between coats and no sanding in between. OCD time doesn't count against me does it?
