"Do the Ton" rear sets - Lets do them cheap - No takers???

Good god you fucking Nancys. I thought I was hanging out with a better crowd.


I thought I was offering help, but you guys are obviously a little too sensitive for far a little give and take. I didn't know that you I was in a girls cafe forum. I thought I was in a kind of a different crowd.


I am sorry. I am happy to leave.
 
oh man... chill... this forum is for people that enjoyed doing up and riding their cafes (common interest).. We help each other with what we have, in times of need coz we don't wan to see our brothers suffer.. Where is the love?? No need harsh words right??

I think we all dream that these things are way overpriced and we should be able to get a decent set for $100. I think Makr is right, this shit costs money because there are so many parts. Its cheap for guys like Kodiak and Makr etc. who have the know how and access to the machinery to make if for themselves Thats why we build our own blast cabinets and electrolosys set ups. I would still rather spend a couple hundred bucks for custom sets from this group than a couple hundred to four hundred elsewhere. Intellectual property? are you fucking kidding me?!

I'm in for a couple sets depending on what they fit.

My daily ride is a CL450, I have a couple projects I could buy them for as well.

What about if we each took what ever plans we (you all, I just stumbled on this) came up with and went to our local machinest individually? Takes the pressure off of a few guys to do it all. I know a guy, who doesn't necessarily owe me a favor, but who might do me one that I could go to with plans and say, "hey can you make me a few sets of these? what would it cost?" and I would probably get a pretty good deal. I bet most of us do. Or provide this as an option and the nice guys here who are willing to make some sets on the cheap can help the guys who don't "know a guy"

Just thoughts.

Diesel thanks for looking at the bigger picture. ;)

Some of you guys take the internet much too serious. ::)

Makr has been helping me with my KZ project from the get-go. It saddens me to see so many that probably couldn't build their cafes without the help of these forums are knit picking his comments.
:eek:
 
So you see nothing wrong then? Really?
I'm sure he's a great guy, giving his time freely and helping little old ladies across the street (before stealing purses for meth money) but do we need crap like that on the boards here. If you want to be like that, find somewhere more appropriate. I will cheerfully throw out the occasional F-bomb but there's a difference between swearing like an ass and actively likening one's self to feces. He's a peach and I notice that we're no worse off for his absence.

I'm glad he's helping you with your bike, sounds like you may need the assistance. ::)
 
I'm still pretty new here, but I think overall its a really good group, and yes maybe some comments got a little out of hand. If we were all locked in a garage together this stuff would work itself out But we're not so I think we should drop this altogether and get back to cheap rear sets!

Any more ideas along this line? Did anyone see those ones on e-bay for like $130 delivered? Some guy in France making them. Didn't look like it included linkage though, just the levers and pegs. They looked alright. I was going to buy one set to see how they worked out and then let everyone know. Anyone have any experience with them?

Maybe I'm jaded, but I don't see how anyone has really gone over the line (whatever that is) in this thread. Chill, it's the internets.
 
That was sort of my point with the garage comment. If it were just a bunch of guys hanging in the garage, then whatever, things are said, its funny or it isn't, you move on. But on a forum like this there are things to consider before you say something. There are some women here and certain comments made here could be construed as disrespectful to them or even masoginistic. Maybe the girls here don't care but thats not really the point. I do think that one reply to the comment in question did maybe overreact a bit but that doesn't mean they were wrong.

Anyway, Rear sets anyone?
 
"....certain comments made here could be construed as disrespectful to them or even masoginistic"

Are you kidding me?

To put it into perspective for you guys, were we hanging out in the garage bullshitting and that comment came out I would have gleefully punched him in the face. Repeatedly. Then I'd have kicked his lame ass down the street and come back with a smile. I bet if you polled the men here, you'd get similar responses, boys may answer differently.
I don't know where you came up but speaking personally, I like women. I'm a man, I was put here to protect them from just such garbage (words or people).
 
I do believe we are talking about the same comment about a certain knurled (sp?) peg, correct? Yes awful. But a bunch of guys hanging in a garage are presumably at least aquainted if not friends. And I doubt you are going to just walk up and punch somebody in the face. Unless you already had history or you are a sociopath. These things get worked out differently face to face. You did read the rest of my last post, correct? the part where I say it is important to remember that you don't know who is reading these things and watch what you say. I am a gentleman and I like and respect women, (usually more than men) but I have spent enough time in locker rooms and garages to know how things go. When things get out hand you say so and that is all I was trying to do here.
