It's not, he's trying to use it as a vessel to channel his own deep seated emotional misgivings about abandoning that frame.

Positive stop and a spring
It's "backwards" because the "frontwards" version would interfere with the chain and be 18" long.
No death traps here 8)

Fuck me.
2 hrs on the brake pedal.
Stock one stuck out way too far so I cut it down by 2" and moved it in 2" towards the cases. Then spaced it out 5/8 to clear the case.
Any opinions on whether I should weld the spacer to the frame or just allow it to float? I don't know that it matters


And on a side note, for anyone out there using a tig I stumbled upon silicon bronze filler Rod a month or so ago and it's fucking amazing for finish work.

 

[SONICJK]

Aluminum brake stay.

Can't find the damn caliper.
Anyone have one sitting around they can get to me quick like?

 

[xb33bsa]

i think weldi it to the frame and painting it frame color would look best 3 skip weld is all i would do
i may have a very cool aluminum pedal fer that if yer interestted

 

[SONICJK]

Never mind

XB got a picture of the pedal?
This ones probably staying for now but id like a better looking one eventually.

I bought a xt500 pedal to use but it was way too small
