    Get yah some various rasps round half round ,flat etc an shape those forks the way you want em ,one reason to cut a bit larger forks as they lend them selves to more customising finger grooves etc.

    Sorry about yer mate bud hope he did'nt get scared off ,never tried the quick change style forks ,but i like to use looped tubes that are fastened to the forks with a section of rubber band or thera band they seem to work well an the dont shift around if you fix em on right .
