That's how gy6 china forks look when there isn't a fender to make it look flusher.

That's part of it...lol but also because Forks/ Tripple tree just loosely bolted in, no bearings. Just for mock up. Have to take back apart to Powder coat..

Looks quick! You'll be needing that disc!
Would you be able to tell me what length the fork tube on the frame is and what, if any, mods you needed to do to the front end?
I've got a mini melody which I think might have a similar front end to the later spree.
Cheers!

Basically I used the forks,Brake caliper & Tripple tree off a TaoTao ATM 50 scooter. I removed the stem and welded in the Spree stem. I did take forks apart and cut the springs 2.0" to lower front end...
