You ordered it and didnt tell me? Now you HAVE to CMM it.

Id say so. or the equally sized yami. both are perfect for a 4 year old, and will carry a fully grown adult to..

Thats a sweet method. Will do for sure next time I have the crank out. But how the fuck do you fget accurate down to 5 microns?

HAHA, RIGHT. It took me 30 minutes to make a model of a shot glass. I know nothing about importing points and such.

I had forgotten about making this thread, haha. Whoops. Firehead can you elaborate more on truing with a lathe? I dont have a stand so thats my only option.

Ya, they are diff. Brake cleaner evaporates totally and is alcohol based im pretty sure. Carb cleaner on the other hand does not evap, it leaves an oily residue.

Thanks for the rep Firehead. I wish someone would buy the Elka linkage and CMM it. Then I could just manually machine one. Has anyone tried to modify a stock link? I saw a post on here about it, seems pretty easy. Drill, ream, call it good for a 2 inch boost in travel. Just wish I knew exactly where to do it.

Thanks dude.

Its bad ass to see a completely full service builder on here. You guys make some pretty sick frames and such.

Those shocks are pretty heavy. but could be done. especially if you ran a no link setup and moved the lower pivot way back on the arm to fit a longer shock.

Is this hard to do? make sure its straight, then weld er up right? dont use filler so you dont throw it off balance and that should be all right?

somethin about liabilities, lawyers, and the bitchy moms of kids who try to seat tires with 175psi compressors and forget to let off until the tire explodes and removes their faces. idiots.

What, no Jet equipment?

umm, i dunno. they have been all over this site for months now. so i cant imagine you not finding any.

I didnt read this thread, but I highly doubt the stock arms have any form of HT, and if anything it would just be stress relieving, possibly normalizing. What everybody seems to forget about long shocks isnt that the shafts are too long; its the body that is too long. You can have an 8" stroke shock with a 4 foot shaft if you want to, but when you start stuffing extra long shocks into the places and think, "well they will just compress and I will be OK," youre wrong. whats going to happen is the shock will be half way through it cycle, which means that other half is all youre gonna get. Personally I think that 450 shocks on stock arms limit travel. The longer body doesnt permit the up-travel like you need to take full advantage of them. Whether you place the lower pivot further out on the arm or, the upper pivot higher on the frame makes little difference (in this case). Stock length shocks are the way to go. About the lowering brackets, those raise the height of the upper mount, so you say cool. NO, if my bike was seeing any daylight under any tire I wouldnt trust those cheesy stamped alum brackets to hold my air filters, much less my life.

I think you gotta run a special frame for that. DO a search, there are old, very informative long travel threads all over this site.

from the motorola dealer, or a torrent a program in that order

diff part number is a good way to tell things apart, until these situations. they are tied to different prices. IE, more for a banshee cause people will pay it, and so forth. time to get out the calipers and see if they are the same size.

oh, im trying to recreate a 3/4 heim joint.

I got SW '07. How do you use this thing? it seems harder than AutoCAD.

can someone tell me how to do this? i see some good sorority pranks coming.........

The banshee shock is too short to fully accommodate a triple rate setup. Sacrifice: travel. Or maybe it was quad rate? Either way, I would look into it.

Im cookin 1.7ghz, 768mb ram, and an unknown video card, plus the kicker is the USB 1.1 ports. BLAZIN!

I didnt even know you could log out..........

but some bling bling stainless washers would look badass if it was PD'ed gloss or flat black.
