i'm ready.. so where and what time is everyone meeting up?? we are meeting up with justind574 in the morning.. just got to rejet my buddies bike tomorrow (a new build) and we will be ready.. im siked!!

im in also.. going to the badlands this weekend also.. gonna be bringing 2 others with me to haspin..

mite as well ask one of those magic 8 balls what the weather wil be.. lol.. i hear it is suppose to warm up all week.. an be nice.. lets hope so... i gotta rewire my trailer lights tonight.. dont wanna drive 4 hours without trailer lights.. lol.. something caught up in the wires and ripped them out.. fun fun.

yea, thats how my buddys looked.. it runs fine.. i would just go with it.. those stock yamaha stators seem to be built well..

i would use it as it is.. it could run a long time like it is.. my buddys stator looked nasty like that.. it works just fine.. so i would not replace it ..

t5's on a 421 cub??? you are missing out man.. i tried my t5's on my 392 cub and it ran like shit, compared to what it runs like with cpi's.. sell those and get some cpi's or shearers.. trust me on this one man.. you are really missing out.. those pipes are holding that motor back something fierce..

so guys,, they sell the flags at this place?? just figured i would buy one when i get there... no spark arrestors needed i assume.. im just bringing me, my bike, helmet, gas. and money of course.. and oh yeah.. some food.

thanks for the fast response guys.. we drove all the way to haspin acres one time and did not know about the waver form.. my buddy needed a parent signature (young buck) .. luckily my ole lady printed out the form, had his ole man sign it, and faxed it.. she's a notary also. so that helped...

i guess when the ride is over, im haulin ass back home.. gonna slam a few cold ones, and sit back and rest.. lol.. hey by the way.. does anyone have badlands website?? i need to print out a waver form for a buddy that is going..

i have always heard that marvin shaws are for drag racing only, and with any other type of riding they will fade real bad, and beat the life out of you.. i would wait until some more guys on here chime in.. you may want to go another route..

it sounds like he is not wanting to try the same color.. i say do the color that you want.. maybe have someone else do the .. or if he wants to give it another try let hime go with it.. i have had parts that have flaws in them, and i redo them to make the customer and me happy.. ask him if he stripped the frame bare.. if not try to see if he wants to strip it down bare.. then he should have NO problems.. it looks like it dodn't stick in places, and was heavy in others.. this is probably from him spraying, and spraying, and spraying and spraying the powder trying to get it to cover completely.. then the outcome was that the places it did stick got too much powder.. it looks like to me that the frame was not prepped correctly.. just like painting, its ALL about prep work (the prep work is the hardest part of powdercoating).. applying the powder to a correctly prepped part is easy..

also.. when i do a clear coat on parts, i pull them out of the oven after the first color gets done, and apply the clear while the part is hot, works like a charm, and is called hot flocking.. but be careful, it is easy to apply too much clear and if you do, you will have runs.. hope this helped you out man,

if he did not strip the frame to the bare metal, he should have heated the frame in the oven prior to applying the powder, if the frame was bare metal, you can ground it anywhere and the powder should stick to the frame in ALL places with no problem.. sounds like he is trying to cover his ass for a shortcut he made... my bet is that he did not strip the frame to the bare metal and tried to apply the new powder color over the old.. it sounds like it would work, which it can if done correctly. but its tricky.. i personally would have stripped the frame bare, powdered that bitch, baked it. and it would have been a success..

most of the time, a second coat of powder does not want to lay down unless you have a high dollar powder gun, or you hot flock it (basically shoot the powder on a heated part).. he should have stripped the frame down to bare metal, the powder would have covered very nicely, and you would not have this problem.. he should have known it wasn't going to be right before he stuck it in the oven.. nitro tate should tune in, and will probably agree with me also.. im not trying to sound like an ass.. only sharing what i know.. good luck bro.

WOW!!! what a fucking mess.. i powdercoat also and have never ran across this.. it looks like application error to me... did he sandblast the frame down to the bare metal?? did he use a cleaner (acetone) to celan before he coated?? it looks like he totally missed spots on the frame.. i would not think a base coat is needed for adhesion on powdercoating, its only used for color effects.. i hope you didn't pay him.. i would be pissed, and embarrased to send something out the door of my shop looking like that.. ..

lol.. what are you asking for them dave?? by the way.. i got my buddys bike finished today.. it runs strong.. didn't think we were gonna get it done a week ahead of time.. glad we did though.. so he will be coming with me..

heres one.. on your shift star, you can easily mod yours yourself.. then you can take the spring for the arm (the arm with the roller), and grind it down some around the outside, makes the spring a litter thinner, but a little weaker also.. i cut about 40% off.. it makes shifting a dream.. for the shift star, you can cut in on a bench grinder in about 5 minutes.. . just take your time.. its easy to do..

im going to bring my trail bike with the wooly boogers on it.. they should do welll in all that diferent terrain.. they look goofy but you guys better not be behind me when i roost.. they bite really well.. especially on a bike that has enough power to spin them some.. ok, go ahead and laugh and make fun.. i would.. lol

dam!!! i should have been a meteorologist!! a job where you can be absolutely wrong, get paid, and move on to the next forecast!!! LOL meteorologist, sounds like the fuckers should be lookin for rocks or something!! lol

i have always run mine at 50:1, and when i have my motors apart, they always have a nice oily film.. i haven't had to tear down for a rebuild, just tranny mods, powdercoating, and changing head domes..

wow. i would never run a lean mixture ;ike that in my bike.. i use the amsoil dominator and mix it at 50:1.. it does great..

thats my little duece cub!! lol..
