Yeah he tried not to. He damn a pretty good job. I can't complain for a same day turn around! Lol.

That's what I figured! :: Thanks

Took the frame and a couple other pieces to get powder coated. It looks like the dude did what I said, by not coating any threads completely. Now there seems to be something wrong, because I can't get certain things to re-thread. Things like the spindles and other major components. So my question is, how do I clean out the left over powder coating out of the threads? Or do I re-thread?

Haha. When I saw the topic in the drag forum, I was going to say I use Klotz Super TechniPlate, but nevermind. It's up to $7.29!! It's robbery!

I just recently did one of the things that you are talking about. If you look under my name to the left, you can see the date that I joined. Since then, I have spent a LOT of money building my custom bike. I bought a roller and then had to contact a dealer for a stock motor, and then have him do the work that I wanted for it. Also, just like you, my bike has to have my touch. So when I got the roller, I had to break everything down and see how it worked. One thing that you could do is buy a bike already geared towards your type of riding. Whether it be dunes/trail/asphalt. Then go from there. I know you said that you don't have the money right now. WAIT. You will get a better sense of feeling knowing that you bought a bike you can work with, then one you can't. Also, welcome to the baddest ass banshee site anywhere. These are a great group of guys and they will always be willing to offer up their help! :thumbsup:

Aha! Now I got it! I love it when you show me old pictures of her. :biggrin:

Wow! I was way off! Lol.

56 pounds? I think?

Just say no to Trinity.

Speaking of which. I see pretty things in your avatar now! Way to go! Stick it to her! That is coming from a female. So that's how you know without a doubt that you are a whiney little bitch. - Justin

Now that is what we are here for! Fun! - Justin

I just started my build a little over 3 months ago. Trust me when I say it gets expensive quick. I have spent $10k in that short amount of time, and my bike still isn't ready. I only used the best parts money can buy though. You could easily go a cheaper and quicker route. If you want to know more about my set-up and what I have put my money into, just pm me and we can chat. =) P.s. Welcome to the HQ and also the most addictive thing in the world. - Justin

Ok. 1st thing, wannashee20, you're an idiot for thinking that the PM you sent loco was going to help. 2nd thing, I am proud to be part of this garage now. This is our garage and we shall personalize to each persons liking. What ever happened to freedom of press? 3rd thing, loco, I wondered if that was your girl when I first seen it. Good for you man. I would be proud of showing her off also. 4th thing, that dirty sanchez bit is funny as hell. Now wannashee20...Get the fuck outta our garage! - Justin

I vote for cascade. I just ordered my polished shifter and chrome kicker from them. Got a tracking number 10 minutes later. Top notch shiot man. - Justin

Yeah the frame was orange and the plastics were candy red with black skulls. Pretty bad ass. I can't wait to get my motor in it and see what that kind of frame can handle. - Justin

I did have pictures man. I accidently deleted them. It was sexy as hell the way he had it set up. You might have seen it before though. You know Cam? Or yfzdunejumper? I bought my bike of him. He had the OEM frame lightened by GT Performance from 56 pounds down to 26 pounds!! Then had it reinforced with chromoly. Ooooo sexy! - Justin

Sounds good. The guy I got mine off of was runnin' a 7 mil in my frame. With all fluids and a tank of gas he was at 262 pounds with no wheelie bar. I'm hoping to get in that range. - Justin

Hell yeah. Go NAVY - Justin

Well I started building my drag bike just over 3 months ago. When I first read your post, a few questions came to mind. How far do you want to race? 330 ft. 660 ft. Or 1320? These are the most common. Next question is, dirt or asphalt? I bought a roller first, because I didn't have a bike already. So I had to worry about getting a motor too. Everybody that you ask will tell you to go with their motor builder, because they are the best. I went with the one who seemed the most competant, and would give me a motor with work done to it, for a fairly decent price. Like I said, that was 3 months ago. I have already spent close to $10k on my build. It gets expensive when you try to lay down big numbers. My bike is strictly for asphalt. I have talked to a lot of the guys on here. They are all helpful and willing to give advice when they can. - Justin

Make it and sell it as your own is cool with me man! As long as I get to buy it first. I found the image on a website. I think it says a lot about my new build. Outside is beautiful, but yet it has complete evil powering it. - Justin

Man I hope these are simpler than just reading about it on here. I have one of these coming with my new motor. - Justin
