The extint of my knowledge comes from beginning law classes and a few cases that my dad has been involved in with people stealing art from products his business designed. I do know however that you would have to prove that they stole the pic of the web and that it was the EXACT image. Any...

I am having the exact opposite problem. I've tried 3 shocks and they are all way to soft. I've tried a ninja 250 shock, a bandit 400 shock, and a shock Off a larger kawi bike. No matter what I do they are way to soft. I have them mounted almost vertical under the seat straight down through the...

30 min east of Indy here. Greenfield area. Once I get my bike rideable I'd love to ride w some fellow xsers

I just got the new stiffer shock to my buddy's shop today so I'm hopin we can have the frame wrapped up this week. Once I finally get everything back into my own shop I think it will go a little faster. I'm goin crazy only having a gas tank and motor that I don't plan on tearing down yet in my...

no amount of karate can save you from a stragglebate gone wrong! not much help in your fight but it is an important life lesson that david carradine never learned

I think that I have been on here long enough being a vulture that it is time for me to start my own build thread. I am building a 1979. I started down the road of doing the "Brat style" build but eventually decided to do a monoshock bobber. This is my first street bike (ive had offroad bikes my...

What kind of pipes are those? Where'd u pick them up at? Build looking sweet man

Well it's easy to make wen I have no idea wat I'm doing. How do I know if they r compatible.

I will add a pic wen I get home this evening

So I sprayed a few of my parts in gold paint then put a clear coat on top. The original gold had like 2 weeks to dry because I was out of town. Does anyone have an idea of why the clear would cause it to bubble like this?:confused:

I should wi because I'm my build (wouldn't quite call it a bike yet) is looking at rolling with a set of hacked off stockers. I think the will be much better!

Haha I'm waiting until I have something that resembles a bike again and then I will be doing as much of a full writeup as possible. Can't leave all of the guys who have helped me out so much just hangin!

First off wow. I didn't think I needed to pay attention that much in highschool. Haha. But this has been getting my mind spinning and this is the stuff that got me into this in the first place. Getting an understanding. So I'm very much considering taking this road. I have been trying to get the...

What does the linkage do? What shocks don't need a linkage? Thanks for the help

So I have been fiddling around the idea of doing a monoshock instead of the semi stock rear end I have planned. In theory it seems like I could put a brace in the swingarm before the tire and a place to connect on the backbone just under the front of the seat? Am I mistaken and not calculating...

For now I will just be tinkering around. May do some small stuff on the bike with help but def not anything structurally important until I have some time to learn. The maintenance guy at my work who is also a good friend now used to teach at a tech school so he offered to show me the ropes. When...

I am looking to get a mig welder. I am a beginner but have someone to teach me. I don't need anything fancy but I want the option to run gas or flux. I want to spend only a few hundred dollars. What would you suggest?

Just east of Indy myself. I'm def a noob but I'd help in any way I can!

Haha well I think I may have fixed the gas issue. I tried to plug it w solder till I could get access to a welder. It got plugged and has been for a few weeks but I had a torch in there trying to fix the solder so I could locate my support bar and there was a small explosion type thing that blew...
