Does he use that bike for coon hunting with that light pointed towards the trees?

Don't even think of test riding it with that front clearance, first bump you hit will drive that tire into the lower tree and send you over the handlebars. What were you thinking? :-\

Race numbers on anything other than real race parts is just ghey. I've never seen a fiberglass part have so much static electricity it would pull paint from a brush. When I have a static issue when powder coating I put the part in the oven at 100° for 10 minutes to dissipate the charge.

This doesn't sound like a real question, so I'm not going to answer it.

I didn't realize you were building a dirt bike you were going to go jumping with. I've owned many bikes with press in cups, stock on most Harleys. Doing nothing and causing damage to the tag is definitely easier than trying to paint or powder coat or weld after easily drilling out the rivets...

Why the need to weld the cups in? A press fit would be better. I made aluminum cups, when I fabricated my frame, for tapered bearings. I like that they are removable for frame work or powder coating or whatever. You should drill out the rivets on the ID tag and remove it to keep from damaging...

I charge between $15 and $20 for a bike shock spring. Any single stage color.

Powder coat would be the best long term choice. Probably the cheapest professional route to take.

You don't want to "print" decals/stickers, you want to use a die cut vinyl as mentioned. I've been using oracle 651 for it's less tacky adhesive if it's a decal being used as a mask that will be removed after paint or powder coating. It the decal is to remain under a clear coat I would use an...

This is why it is important to understand the different venues that powder coat. Commercial or Production PC plants will hang your part and spray it with a conversion coating and then coat on an automated line. A custom coater takes the time to properly prep a part for a durable, long lasting...

The dent is an issue, but if it was just a bad finish on the powder it could be wet sanded and buffed and polished to a mirror finish just like paint can. Powder is a very durable base for painting over also. Sand it with about 220 grit paper and finish as you wish with paint or powder

I made a trip a year ago from Ga. to Ca. Everyone said to avoid Texas because it was so big and boring. Since the trip was big and boring anyways no matter what state I went through it didn't matter. As it turned out it was a benefit to go through Texas which I hit at dusk and missed every major...

Similar looking to one I have. Reviews seem to be okay. Should be okay depending on what you plan on using it for. I'm trying to figure out how it makes more CFM at a lower pressure (40psi) than at the higher pressure (90psi)

I doubt it was a tank made in the last 50 years. The only way I see that happening is if the tank was originally soldered together. Don't know of any tanks since the 70's that were made that way.

Gaiter clips showed up and fit the brake line perfectly. unfortunately the whole front end will need to come apart to install them.

Tank on the red bike is hideous. ??? Someone thought that looked good?

You are correct, powder is done as a base for paint by many painters. Once cured it can be treated the same as paint by color sanding and polishing to bring to a mirror finish. I have found paint to be quite a bit more expensive than paint, so it might be cheaper to have the powder coater do the...

I originally was going to use these flat wire clips, but their diameter is too small and would leave about a 3/4" gap in the ring when installed and the end would dig into the rubber gaiter. The round wire clips are made for the Triumph so diameter is correct, yet still have plenty of room to...

I'm waiting for these gaiter clips to show up early next week from the Philippines. I will run the brake lines through one of the holes in the clips to locate secure them. It's a royal PITA to remove the front wheel. Come to think of it , removing the wheel won't be the issue because i doubt...
