Ross, I am the only one that I know of that has had a failure below the strut. I had a hard landing with inn the first few months of flying my KR and it bent the fork very slightly. What I did not know is it actually bent the pivot bolt slightly and fatigued it. Some months latter I hit a nasty bump in the runway and the pivot bolt snapped off and I ran over the entire nose wheel fairing and all on an already aborted take off. it dropped to the strut and colapsed that and ground the prop off. You can probably find all th gory details in the archives. None of this seems to have hurt the actual fork and I did have some shimmy at times until I got the strut and the other parts replaced to new condition. Joe Horton
- My question to Krnet is has anyone had a fork break from fatique. I am going to have the fork crack tested so that I don't have a bad day in the future. cheers Ross Evans _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html ____________________________________________________________ Get a life insurance quote online.
