I've been really curious about this. I've seen plenty of videos showing how fast and effective they are for heating up steel. I'd love to have something like that for heating up steel in the shop versus using my oxy/acetylene torch. The tech just isn't in my realm of expertise. So I'm clueless...

Man lots of great advice in here. This is exactly what I was hoping to hear. ideally I hope I can do this under $5000. I’m going to look into the tormachs and Bridgeport’s, based off of the general consensus here.

I’m at a point now with my builds that I’d really like to start tinkering around with CNC machined parts. Mainly building custom triple clamps, instrument clusters, and other random one-off parts. I have plenty of experience with 3D modeling and CAD, so I know this will give me a little bit of a...

Fixin to start a new project bike for myself soon. I like doing monoshock conversions, and this bike is gonna be a heavy one. I’m just wondering what big bikes out there have monoshocks that I could potentially buy a used shock off of. Biggest one I can think of is the GL1800 goldwing. But I’d...

Seen this bike in person, it's dope. And Shawn does some awesome work.

Oh this thing runs strong and hard. I love it. The iDF 40 carbs were an amazing addition to power. I'm running a Dyna S electronic ignition on it. I highly recommend it.

Updates!

Yeah I think I'm the only person in the US with one for sale on ebay.

Just posted on ebay now. You can see some of the work I did on this site. I'd also consider a trade for a BMW 650GS. http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/302474483987

Makin progress. Made front brackets, and rigged up a removable sort of bracket in the rear of the tanks that keeps the tanks together at the rear. The front brackets are held in by a clevis pin/bolt. The whole concept is that if I were to break down on the side of the road and I need to get...

When touch the positive/negative leads on the multimeter, after a few seconds it eventually lands back to 0.0.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that this evening and report back.
