My Build Thread.

Thanks Guys!
I got out here last night and this afternoon while mom was on the phone and while she took a nap
I had to go buy some more blue as I couldn't find that damn little blue tube.
I know it's here some where
$5 for 1/5 oz That just seems wrong somehow! rant over

Oh, you're lucky to have your bike so close man.

 

[I am Carbon]

Yes Sir I am.
But there is some good about having a shop some where besides home.
"Honey! I'm going to the shop and work on the bike . I'll see You later"
Well that = not having to answer 20 questions about what I'm working on
and hearing about what someone is doing on the TV.
which all in all is all right!

I assume you are talking about blue Loctite? I always snatch those little sampler tubes of Loctite that come with new machinery. I've got about 20 of the little buggers now in purple, blue and red.

 

[shotgunjoe]

Btw... dying to know what the translucent amber thing hanging from the file cabinet is??

 

[Maxx650]

Looking sweet dude, how do you do those twists in your sissy bar? Get it really hot?!

 

[Paulrxs650]

Looking really good Carbon - its going to be a very nice bike when its finished - some good attention to detail!

Shotgun joe - it looks like a magnetic amber flashing beacon that plugs into your cigarette lighter

 

[I am Carbon]

Thanks alot Guys!
plane_ben, Yes blue Loctite. I wish I had that many bottles.
this is the first time I heard about purple.

shotgunjoe, Paul is spot on!

Maxx650, I guess I cheated. At the shop I used to part time at they have a machine that twist steel and aluminum pickets for hand rails. I used that to twist my steel.
No heat required, They come out the same every time.

 

[shotgunjoe]

Oh heck... duh! Now I see it.

 

[I am Carbon]

I've been busy this morning.
all the brake stuff is painted.
I used high temp caliper paint. Red
brembo gold is now brembo red

don't mind the finger print

 

[Tron]

I agree on havin a shop not at home... forces a better work ethic and gets you more ''away''

looking good. should be an interesting look with all the red

 

[I am Carbon]

You know that's right Tron
Thanks Tron!
I know red over black works well.
I just hope black over red works well too

 

[Johnt3]

I will have to agree with you on the work ethic. I'm forced to plan out what I'm doing with the little time I have at the shop. Nice Brembo red there Carbon.
