stock neck
remove fork lock mess
remove the "belled" ends of the neck
make an insert for the now hollow neck. The o.d. of the insert should match the neck's i.d. and the i.d. of the insert should match HD neck cup's o.d. I start with a tube that's just a bit larger and turn it down for a press fit
I also put a small bevel inside each end. Makes pressing in the neck cups a little easier
pressed in
At this point you can weld the hole left from removing the fork lock. This will also help hold the insert in place.
neck cups pressed in
front end installed
The cool part about this is that we were easily able to swap standard neck cups with 3 degree raked cups to help the stance
