  1. Does the oil come out of the breather if the bike is standing still or olny after it has been moving?
  2. You mayant to keep it in the off position. This will prevent you from hurting yourself. :baseball_original:
  3. Does not realize that the person that he is referring to may not have a mother ship that wants him back. :baseball_mitt:
  4. My belly button has been puckering and unpuckering all month in anticipation of cooler weather. :baseball_innocent:
  5. ^^^Can spell atleast at a 5th grade level.
  6. Endmill? :baseball_bat: It looks like I found a picture of me making some straight cut gears. This was the first set that I made when I was working at my my previous employer, hence the turd of a HAAS machine.
  7. It seems to me that you got your ass handed to you in several posts over in the "Person Above you Thread." :baseball_original:
  8. I would certainly be afraid to do fins with the Banshee's splash and flush cooling system. The thermal cycling involved would make Al fins break right off. I certainly wouldn't discourage fooling around with studies to see what the optimum surface area is on the outside of the dome versus combustion temperature versus combustion chamber volume. :baseball_original:
  9. I had a thoot once, but I lost it. :baseball_santa:
  10. I am running my own straight cut gears right now. However they are not a custom ratio. At the time I was making them, I did not feel that I knew enough about the Banshee drivetrain to be fooling around with that. I'll see if I can find some pictures of me making them when I get home from work, granted I made them on a CNC mill not a manual. All you need is a gear hob and a rotary table to do them on a manual machine. The grinding, lapping, and heat treatment were stumbling blocks for me. I think I would like to of a few more sets of gears this differnt types of heat treatment if I get the bug to do it again. Can you guys do gear grinding at you shop? If so, you may be my new best friend? :baseball_innocent:
  11. There can be alot of feed lines involved if you straight up hand program it or you use a CAM system as I do. The other alternative would be using a canned cycle which cuts out most of the feed lines, all you have to do is define the profile of you finished surface and the control calculates the tool pathes. The downside to that is, if there is something wrong, it can be a bit more of a boat bang to diagnose. The last dome program that I ran, i think I had the spindle up around 4500 rpm and 0.4mmpr. Old skool is cool, but there aren't that many hand made parts going on F1 cars, unless you count the hand laid composites. :baseball_santa:
  12. I would claim that they are BS as I cannot see that they add any turbulence to the intake charge. Additionally I think that they would disrupt the laminair flow of gases after the mixture has burned. One would also theorize that all of the nooks and crannys that the swirls create allow for a less complete compustion due to the increase of surface area. Lastly, they probably cost quite a bit more to manufacturer. All in all, they are not worth it in my opinion. :baseball_mitt:
  13. I have been making my own domes for awhile. It's wuite a bit of fun. Yours look very nice. I take my hat off to you as some of my domes do not look as nice as yours and all of my work is done on a CNC lathe. :baseball_original:
  14. hamsters.
  15. It is not worth the price.
  16. I think night would like me to stuff the harvest mouse full of cocaine. :baseball_w00t:
  17. flavored
  18. I think so. :baseball_innocent:
  19. I'll bring the whips, chains, whistles, yo yo's, and the corn fed harvest mouse for Brooke. :baseball_original:
  20. This is what I did when I got my DD cover. :baseball_mitt:
  21. ^Wants to be one of the people. :baseball_original:
