So Cal Suspension

because race car

Your lighting voltage straight out of the stator should be about ~9.4-9.7 volts at idle, and spike to about ~33-37 when you rev it. Sounds like you might have a stator taking a dump, or you have a small short somewhere.

Is your name Phelps?

Did you happen to notice that your spring is touching your upper a-arm?

Yeah, that's the ticket! Replace those POS heim joints with even bigger POS ball joints!

Why you guys gotta make intestine jokes?

People, whatever you do, DO NOT -- I repeat, DO NOT, even in a jokingly manner, say anything about threatening someones life.

Unless you're like the rest of the world, and have a multi policy. A 10% increase for me would mean almost another $95 a month.

Nothing but truth right there. Outlaws were the best you could get UNTIL the 450's came out. Stock 450's have better suspension geometry than a 250r did, hence the reason no one is buying those outlaws or eliminators anymore, they are obsolete old technology that has been improved on 10x over. A YFZ conversion bike would be a better handling bike hands down than an outlaw or eliminator. The last eliminator I rode was a pro-trax. It handled great... for a banshee. A properly built long travel setup would outperform one, though.

Haha, true true. I just cringe every time I see the god awful price LSR charges for their outlaw frame, when really, it's nothing out of the ordinary. I've seen better designs built in garages... 250r's are pretty sweet though. I bet it would corner better than a sundahl, but they don't even have close to the same wheel travel.

Gary, get with it... Outlaws are stock 250r geometry... Nothing special about them. I aughta smack you!

Can't tell the difference between chromoly teflon heims and cheapo heims, can you? JMX12T's have a radial load rating of over 28,000lbs. Edit: Just looked at the pictures again. I was wrong, the heims used at the frame location appear to be RSMX10T's. They have the larger shaft. In that case, the RSMX10T's have a radial load rating of over 40,000lbs. The ones on the spindles are definitely JMX heims, though. Which seems backwards, he should have used the bigger heims on the spindles, but if he exceeds 28,000lbs on those heims, that entire frame would crumble before the heims even THOUGHT about breaking.

I call the Sundahl frames the I-beam abortion. It's like an older i-beam ford pickup raped an a-arm ford pickup, and had an ugly ass baby. Have you guys ever seen how these things articulate? Like shit, that's how. Camber gets all fucked up through the articulation. +/- 8 degrees I've seen. They are so unstable that you wouldn't be able to corner for shit. They're fast in straight line whoops, though. Center mounted a-arms would pull more USABLE travel than that sundahl abortion.

Was the claim really worth your rates going up for the next 10 years?

ChuyVargas is having a top secret super duper awesome design made. Give it some time. I'm sure it'll be popping up here soon. Also, Outlaws are wastes of money. That much cash for nothing more than a STOCK 250r setup? If you've got enough cash to burn, have a custom front end made for that thing. Duplicate the YFZ450R front end. Center mounted a-arms will work 100x better than the Outlaw setup. Don't get me wrong, it's much better than stock geometry banshee suspension, but there are MUCH better things out there that can be done. That guy who did "project frame chop" in the suspension forum had a much better design than the outlaw or laegar's chassis. It has much more potential. Just my two cents...

Haha, you're welcome, dick.

I've seen one of these broken ones in person. The things were absolute shit. No way in hell I would ever trust one of those things. I wouldn't trust it hanging on my wall. It was junk. Also, be VERRRRYYYYYYYY wary of the "gift through paypal" part.

I'd say "Glad you had a good time." but we all knew you'd have a good time.

I don't know how you do it, Jeffie, but these seats keep getting better and better. I've still got an Audi seat that needs some love...

Glamis is on Federal lands so it is managed by the BLM. Honestly, as locals, we were happy to see Banshee Wars go... It seemed as though because it was banshee wars everyone who showed up never even thought to learn about the rules of Glamis before riding. They're pretty simple. Wear a helmet, have a flag, don't be stupid. That's pretty much it. Seemed like during banshee wars all 3 of those rules would be thrown out the window. BLM didn't just ban Banshee Wars. Sanctioned events ANYWHERE on public lands require permits to pay for added Law Enforcement presence, crowd control as well as medical aid should it be needed. I think the people acting like children out there was just the icing on the cake. The feds were only able to turn a blind eye for so long before they finally said "no". Key is: Don't act like an idiot and cheat.

This is the best I've got right now. The red circle shows where the pair of 35w Trail Tech's light ends. The LED's being used are one 10w Euro beam, and one 10w Spot beam. The Trail Tech's are two 35w Spot bulbs.
