basically if you cut it and there are no threads left you need to get a starnut that will fit down into your fork. the bolt for it comes with it, once its in there its not comming out unless you put it all the way through.

I was thinking it over then figured if i would want to put a gyro on sometime down the road, i would need new forks. That and i like the height my bars are at so I might as well not touch it. But atleast i know how to now. thanks.
