Well it didn't go for much more than what it was at when I posted yesterday. I thought it was going to keep climbing based on the bids it had. I didn't think it was worth that much either and that is why I thought there was an opportunity there. Obviously there is not as much opportunity...

Does this bike belong to someone on here? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Yamaha-XS-Custom-Yamaha-XS650-Bobber-Motorcycle-/290598889699?pt=US_motorcycles&hash=item43a90b28e3 14 hours left to go and it looks like it's getting pretty good money. If a guy could make/modify his own frames, it...

I could use the $10,000 but don't care much about the SEMA show. Going to Vegas for free would be cool though. I'd probably blow the 10G on gambling and hookers! :smoke:

Rotella T 15w40. I also use many brands of 20w40 and 20w50 motorycle secific oils.

Two Wheel Mafia, I like your first one a lot in this picture

What is to admit is that the tc bros forwards don't suck dick for the reason you thought they did. Saying that the pivot length turned out to be the problem isn't the same as saying you were wrong about their product being the cause of your rear brakes not working well. I think what some of us...

:laugh: Good times... Do you ever try to get the ass end a little sideways when you come to a stop? That'll really get people's attention. :gun:

You're very welcome! :cheers: I see you're running front brakes on your builds. Not that rear brakes aren't important, but they aren't nearly as big of a deal when you have a good front brake that does most of the work anyway. :)

I think the angle of the lever on the drum looks fine. Like has been said before, it should be about 90* to the linkage when the brakes are applied. You don't have 120* of swing on the lever at the drum. You might have 10-20* depending on how much slop you like in the brake lever. So if your...

If the title would have been called "My rear brakes suck dick" then there wouldn't be any problems. That is clearly what the thread is about, your rear brakes not working as they should. It has nothing to do with the forward controls at all. Go back and read the thread but think of the title...

Teebs I thought you were seriously mad. It's hard to tell on the internet unless you add one of these :D or these :wink2: after what you say. Oh yeah, for those of you who haven't seen Old School, my name is after Will Ferrell's character in that movie. "FRANK THE TANK!! FRANK THE TANK...

So you ARE an engineer? but not a welder.... I'll admit, it's been a long time since I've even heard anyone say acute triangle, let alone remember what it means from school. So, I looked it up: An acute triangle is one where all three angles are less than 90 degrees. So ignoring the part...

xstwin, Is that yours? I agree it looks damn good!! I also like the one two wheel mafia posted though, the engine looks great and I like the wheels and white walls.

Not trying to cause problems, but xstwin, if you're not a welder, then how can you say this "One member builds a drop seat with a poor design and bad welds, no one except myself and xs 650 skull point it out"? How do you know they were bad? Did they just looked bad to an untrained eye? And...

I'm a huge lurker here, and have been lurking long enough to know that Barb isn't the sole female member here. There are at least 3 others that I know about. :D I think they'll understand where you're coming from though. Tony, Sorry about all the problems this woman is giving you. Like...

Has anyone made there own swingarm brace? I'm thinking about giving it a shot but I don't how wide it needs to be near the front of the swing arm to give it enough clearance for the chain. I know it needs to be about 9 inches on center where it meets the axle plates but I'm wondering if it...

He probably just didn't know where you were coming from. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah it doesn't look right. Sits up too high but I like the size.

Never even thought about the gauges! See I would have made them narrower, then when it came time to mount the gauges been like FUCK!! :doh:

^ cool video! :thumbsup: Would love to test ride one of those!
