fabricating

Has anyone here recently ordered something from monster? I have been trying to get a hold of the guy running this site but no dice. I tried email, phone, instagram, nothing. Does he post on here?

Hey guys what kind of welders are you using? I don't know shit about welding but I have a frame with a hardtail already on it. So I'm not gonna do anything structural. Im thinking of getting a decent welder and practice a bunch and trying to put things on the bike once I get better like the gas...

I have been welding for a little over 10 years. My first welding project was a set of intercooler hard pipes for a turbo Supra project back in college. They turned out terrible. I ended up having to cut all the pipes apart and have a friend help me get all the pinholes out. I figured...

ive been working on a narrow springer build that im about to finish up and thought that i'd share it with you guys. This is my first springer build, but i have been wanting to build on for a long time now. Im not a professional, just a back yard mechanic that is learning as i go. I just...

If you read my thread last week, I took a hiatus from all forums. My grandfather who was my best friend and bike mentor commited suicide. As his only grandson he left me his house, fully paid for, with a basement garage as well as a fully stocked 1200 sq foot garage. I remodeled the house and...

Unfortunately I need to make a repair of a minor hole in a leather seat, is there any mold or padding that can be used for such? If anyone knows exactly how to do this, I would appreciate getting some feedback. Hole came after a drill slipped, and went the wrong way... dooh. :banghead:

So, all week I've been getting ideas together of where to take my bike next. I have an idea but I keep gravitating back to a Café type style... but a café salt flat cross... Its hard to describe. I've attached a shitty drawing of whats in my head. The scale may be off just a bit...Please let...

So, I have this crazy idea. I am looking to do a 2 inch stretch on my swing arm, but i also have an idea to relocate the shock mounts. What do ya'll think about taking a set of foot peg mounts. The pretty curvy ones, mounting them up in where the standard mounts go, and making them the shock...

I like the style of the early grab rail (eg Mike's #68-6800), and would like to adapt it my later, 1976c stock seat. There are no fasteners/fittings under the seat, of course, but fabricating some fasteners seems to be pretty simple. However, I'm wondering if anyone has done this. Some...

I'm looking for a 18" & 19" rim that doesn't have the spoke holes yet. I'm thinking about making a set of invader type wheels but can't find them anywhere. Thanks

I am lightening my load and getting excited with the cutting torch... I am thinking about removing my passenger foot peg hoops/brackets and relocating the passenger peg to (somewhere). And ideas, or pictures of relocated pegs? I was thinking about mounting it off of the rear bolt of the...

Hi everyone, I did some searching and couldn't find a thread covering this. On my bike, I have the stock '72 master cylinder, caliper and brake line. I bought the TC Bros Custom Stainless Braided Brakeline to accomedate new bars and the greater distance between the master cylinder and the...

Here's a bunch of pictures so far. I started with an old xs that had a custom rear welded on and a donor bike. I'm making stuff up as I go. Instead of posting 50 pictures here i'm linking to my photo bucket. Unless putting pictures on the site is...

So I went to hop on my scoot, and started her up and it sounded unusually crispy. Then it died. I thought it was out of gas, which it was. I had just put a full tank in the day before so I was confused. I also, the other day got some oil to do an oil change. So I decided to change the oil for...

Hey guys, This is for all you purist out there. I decided to make my own low profile switch housing out of Lexan (plexiglass) after I got bored with an hour of internet shopping. It slides on to the handle bar and sits just inside the throttle. Tools and Materials: micro switches (Radio...

I came across this today flipping thru a book and thought it might be helpful to some. Alot cheaper vs the tcbros and others kits you come across....now of course you dont get the flanges.....but if you wanted to use your existing stock ones, heres an option...

So here's the deal, I have a 74 frame with a voodoo vintage hardtail on it. We did the hardtail ourselves, not the first time we have done one and we measured a million times to make sure it was on straight. So now the motor is in and we are trying to get the rear wheel lined up on the axle so...

Hey everyone. I'm working on installing a flat brat seat on my '75 cafe build. In the picture, I have circled a piece of the frame that seems to just be there for structural support. The part of this brace that the arrow is pointed at (the bulged portion) is getting in the way of my seat. Is it...

Has anyone found a reasonably priced universal wiring harness. Something that just does it all. For 300 Badlands makes one for Harleys. It mentions or custom builds, but I would rather have something that I don't have to modify. It has control boxes and everything. Just asking if anyone has...
