Cover the fork to 
protect it then drill 
a hole for a 10/32" 
tap. 

21
Tap the hole for 
a 10/32” button 
head bolt. 

22
This is a simple 
fork stop that can 
be adjusted to 
clear the gas tank 
as well as the turn 
angle desired. 

23
Turn the frame over 
and do the same on 
the other side. 

Double-check your work. This will protect the paint or powder coat on the frame. Regardless of the front 
end and frame combination you use, you will need some type of fork stop. You will also need to protect 
the frame from the constant abuse and damage of those stops. This has always served me well and you 
can put small washers under the button head or use a thick Allen-head bolt to change the spacing 
clearance if needed.

Now turn the frame over, 
slide on the stretched 
FatKatz T500S gas tank 
and see what is needed 
for clearance.
