seeking Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 ups came out today. they wanted to take the box, ship it to their resolution center, decide how they can get out of it, then tell me I'm screwed. not worth the hassle. i took two hammers, stuck one inside the cup sideways, mimicking the radius of the curve with the curve of the edge of the hammer head, then slowly tapped on it with the other hammer. within two minutes i had it back to original state. there is a small crack inside the cup, but its not gonna be an issue. the rim is only there to center the pulley, which ill just throw on the other side. should be good. in other news, been looking for plans to build something like this forever. i know its simple and i could have figured it out if id really sat down but the ones I've seen were made out of metal. wood is even easier. someone may find it useful. holler. and incase its too complex i included a youtube video of it in action. http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/bikelift.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 4x8 center stand. Hah that's great. Annd you destroyed the box accidentally, didn't you? I had a similar problem with a motor. The guy decided to roll it into a ball of foam, bubble wrap and tape and send it to me UPS. When UPS came out the packaging was obviously unrecognizable after i took it off. Luckily the guy selling the motor, who either parts a lot bikes or stolen parts (or both) refunded me $200 of $600 for the damages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 indy i used to take my bike to in savannah had them, but instead of 4x8 it was steel tubing welded into the the same shape. so simple and easy. doesn't replace a hydraulic table, but for simple stuff its useful as shit. especially since my bike is too low for a floor jack.

Soup Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 No it's awesome for things you actually need to do, like check/change your oil. I've always thought of harleys as touring rigs, but no center stand? Jeeze. Oh and here's a fancy 690 Supermotard turned bobber by some metal worker at Fisker Automotive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 bigger bikes are gonna be heavy as shit trying to get up on a center stand. that honda shadow i had for a month was a pita and that thing weighed way less than my dyna. road king or street glide, you're never gonna get up.

Some1 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Wow cant believe I was still able to ride. Now I am +1 in the back and it surprisingly made a huge difference def more torque lost some high end but I didnt care. I kept the stock chain so it moved the tire in a little bit so it turns in alot faster. Love the addition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dignan Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 shouldn't the chain be replaced at the same time as the sprocket/cogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 True. You gotta replace the whole drivetrain together since that wear's on the chain and sprocket too. Also, why does hollywood make Army guys wear motocross armor? Lulz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 i don't know.why do black guys wear shorts, wife beaters and those chest/back protectors with their full face helmets resting on top of their head while they read around? life is full of mystery and wonder.

Soup Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 hahahah yeah I think i gotta step up the protection to some serious bike gear. I'm now putting in 1500-2000 miles a month. The 3/4 lid is nice for visibility and not knocking around in the wind, but I really need to start preparing for the crash. Esp with it raining now. Maybe this: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/mcy/2605452190.html haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I've decided I'm getting into sport bikes asap, but i'm keeping the CB900C as a perfect touring bike. It's a fucking tank in more ways than one. It's stable at high and low speeds, reliable, cruises at 80-90 with a top speed aerodynamically reduced to about 110. If I plank on it i'll get 120. Anway Psalm, if you read this shit, what are you thinking about the Moto3? Im fucking upset about the disappearance of two strokes. They're faster, lighter, and easier to work on for the blue collar builder. I heard I can get a kenny roberts-esk YZ500 for under 12k with all the replacement parts i'd ever need. Fuck state law saying two strokes aren't street legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some1 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 moto3 is exciting as hell!!!!!! Who cares if blue collar people cant do it the shit is exciting! Motorcycle racing is a rich mans sport any way you slice it. Im never gonna do it the old days of racing riding up in your GMC Van with the bike in the back is over technology killed the brute force... I would rock a two stroke tho all day those things are pissed!!!!!!!!!!!

Soup Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Seeks I think you should clean this up for me. Maybe without the upside down forks. Not sure why i gave it those. Leather helmet, pink beard, green skin and tube socks gotta stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleSuplex Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Inverted forks can stay. Beard and especially green skin have to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grove rat Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 obviously it is not a motorcycle but it is powered by a v-twin and looks like fun to drive/ride not sure how accurate this info is: built out of an old side car and powered by an old hd 45 flat head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
