    Web Site Login Issues

    All sorted now. Don't know what changed, but I was able to confirm my password and reset it through my laptop. Now I can login with my phone. FYI - I never got an email with the reset option. I had to edit through an already logged in account in my "password and security" panel in settings.

    Web Site Login Issues

    Sorry to make a thread here for this, but I can't seem to get help using the 'contact us' button with any success. I'm here on my laptop logged in, but cannot for the life of me get my phone to login. I've tried to reset my password and it seems to accept my email, but I never get an email to...

    Yamaha DT3 Tracker - Small Bike, Large Ambition

    All good points! As you all know, it's a dance. I won't be burning in anything until I can prove out the points you've mentioned. At the moment I'm using stock swingarm pivot, however I'm tempted to nudge the pivot closer to the sprocket to improve the change in tension. We'll see - depends how...

    Yamaha DT3 Tracker - Small Bike, Large Ambition

    Last night I had an epiphany while setting rake & trail. I really need to get a mock sprocket on there with the chain so that I can set the ride height & swing arm angle while ensuring the chain doesn't drag on the swing arm at all times. So now I'm looking at making hubs, which lead me down...

    Cone makes some great pieces for exhaust fab, way to put it to good use!

    "Tangerine Dream" / Glemseck - KZ750

    This is nuts! My brain is struggling to accomodate NOS and drum brakes on the same bike. Are you keeping this on drums?

    I don't know what happened to this site, but it looks like they fixed the login error. I'm back on, and working on the bike again. For the first time in years I've been able to make real-progress on fabrication. Updates include: 3D Printed Axle Block Machined Aluminum Axle Block Inserts...

    1976 Honda MR175 21st Century Refresh

    Sweet build! As you ride for longer periods, does the gas get pretty warm from that pipe? I could see a heat shield being desireable under there. How do you like the VAPE? I was looking to do that with my DT3

    PMA conversion.

    I should have been more specific but you covered it anyway :) I was referring to the inner diameter of rotor matching the taper. Do you still have that reference available you found? I'd like to add it my library for future projects. If not, I'm sure I can find it with some keyboard work. Nice...

    Impressive! How did you get the information regarding flywheel weight and inner diameter so you could do the retrofit?

    12' fishing boat using PMF

    What's the overall angle here? Saving money over other lightweight options or saving weight over other affordable options? I'm very intrigued by the project, but find myself asking....why?

    Black Oxide for Bolts after Evaporust?

    I refer to RBC Bearing's test when thinking of material and coatings for corrosion prevention. To quote the setup, "1.0 Testing Procedures Testing was conducted by Dayton T. Brown test facility in Bohemia, New York. The testing was done in accordance with RTCA/DO-160G, section 14.3.6.7...

    V Star 650

    First attempt resulted in THAT? Helluva nice outcome. You're making so many elements of the machine from scratch, I have to ask, are you making your own oil and gas as well :) ?

    Yamaha DT3 Tracker - Small Bike, Large Ambition

    I'm sure I have the worst updates in terms of both timing and alignment with original topic. Why change now right? Here's the latest "progress" on the DT3: I kept hitting hurdles with the DT that required spacers or modification to existing pieces. Most notably making a complete swing arm...

    V Star 650

    Wow, that's some next level material usage. Usually metal guys don't get so crafty with other materials. Nice work.

    Interesting Video I came across

    What was the stick beating on the inner bridge all about toward the end? I love that can opener style rolling cutter. Gimme one of those!
