  1. Nick, you listed it before for like 5k and when you got called out on it, you said you weren't even trying to sell it, but if someone fell for it, you'd sell it for 5k. I'm just wondering why you're getting free parts if you're just selling the bike?
  2. You sure? This posting has been deleted by its author
  3. Baaaaaaahahahahahaha
  4. The work would be done to your shock.
  5. It will all depend on your weight. Start at 350, and go up in 50lb increments.
  6. I actually don't work on Shaws, homie, for a number of reasons, but the most common reason is parts availability. Shaw, for some reason, doesn't like to stock (or sell) parts to repair their shocks. And the second, is if THEY can even repair them in house, they do them for so cheap, that I can't possibly compete. A lot of times they will send you your shocks back, and say parts are no longer available, so it's a risk.
  7. A stock rebuilt/revalved/re-sprung shock is $243.00 shipped. Let me know if you'd be interested. Keep in mind that the shaws have zero user-adjustable compression/rebound, whereas the stock rear shock is completely adjustable. On the plus-side, shaws are lighter, and shiny.
  8. Hmmm, good ol' marvin shaws. They work fantastic on volkswagon beetles...
  9. Rick, I got your message, but I won't be back in the shop until Tuesday, but I'll try giving you a call this afternoon on my way to San Diego. Nice to know where you work, though. I've got a suburban that might need some love here soon. Anyways, to answer the question at hand, I was going to say 750-800 for a dune bike, 1100-1150 for when you're running Olds.
  10. I started with an xbox 360, and got tired of paying to use it online, for shit service. I had both for a while, and i personally thought the PS3 was better in every aspect. I had more "server not found"'s with xbox than I do with ps3. Wifi was a HUGE plus with ps3, blu-ray, etc. Backwards compatible was also a plus, so you could play ps2 games, on ps3.
  11. No sir, but I have a bit of education in this area. I have a dual BS degree in Corporate Management, and Criminal Psychology from UCSD. I also have a Masters in Business Administration from the Rady School of Management at UCSD. I was a also a Deputy Sheriff for 4 years so I have a little bit of knowledge and experience in dealing with this kind of nonsense. I feel as though everyone is under the impression that I am defending this guy. I am not defending him in any way, just shedding light on an often overlooked gray area in law. As far as going to his higher up's at the department, unless he works for a large department, with some sort of Internal Affairs department, I don't foresee that being a viable route, either. Often times smaller departments are "buddy-buddy" with one another, and discipline is never carried out. Even in our large department here, IA often times won't take civil matters into consideration for disciplinary action. Being that criminal fraud is so very hard to prove, I feel, in my opinion, that this would be better handled civilly. I doubt, even still, that courts would sway in the plaintiff's favor, being that the defendant is a law enforcement officer. If this was a matter of buying a NEW product, and it was in disrepair, I think something could be done, but courts like to work in the most bass-ackwards way when it comes to consumer protection. You basically have to prove that the seller intentionally hid faults and defects, with the intent of ripping you off. It sucks balls. I think you should be able to sue someone just for being stupid...
  12. My rig is going out on Christmas Day without me. I'm hoping to be out there for a few days over new years weekend. Not sure if I'll make it out in the dunes or not, but I'll certainly try. My cousin's are using my stuff while I'm not there. We already have people in wash 4. Group of about 18 motorhomes/trailers.
  13. I already posted the link to his dyno results. The consensus on that was that he was WAYYY under 79hp. More like 55-60 at best.
  14. No sir. I'm not defending him one bit. I'm just pointing out things as I observe them.
  15. This is a common misunderstanding of criminal law. The legal description of fraud is someone INTENTIONALLY defrauding someone for monetary or social gain. In the case of Fraud, ignorance is an acceptable defense. Being that 3bond was all over the crank, and that particular thing occurred after the cases were closed up, he couldn't have known it was there, thus being his defense on the crank. For everything else, all he has to say is "I didn't know any better." and your case is done. What you and I consider common knowledge with these motors, many do not. This would be a civil matter, and really your only legal option is filing a small claims suit against him. You would need to file the suit in his county of residence, or wherever the "contract" was broken, which would be where money was exchanged. Probably not worth your time. Oh, and can we ease it on the cop bashing? LOL... The whole situation sucks, but not all of us are/were pieces of shit.
  16. Great deal here on these shocks. 600 is a steal. Buyers just remember to protect yourself in this transaction. Nothing against you, Boaty, but just trying to protect our members should anything go wrong.
  17. Very good points. Frankly, it's unsafe, and an immense liability You wouldn't turn down your nitrogen or welding tanks, would you? The pressures inside these shocks can easily reach over 3000 psi under full compression. I also agree that those heims are unsafe. The one on the left looks bent.
  18. Alright. TECHNICALLY, I am in the loan business. I feel your pain. Good luck with everything, though.
  19. Oh, they'll hold it no problem. it'd just ride like shit. The wall thickness of the fronts is the same as the rear shocks.
  20. I was actually being serious... I'm not sure if he has kids or not, but I don't want kids to have a shitty christmas for any reason.
  21. No, it's not going to be perfect, but that's why I said fill it up, and turn it over (spin the crank), and repeat it a few times until it all comes out. I mean, let's face it, 95% of us who put together motors do-so in our garages, there is dust, dirt, and other shit that probably falls in our motors without us knowing. Truthfully, the BEST way is to tear the motor completely down, and clean everything in a solvent tank, but short of that, the diesel thing I think would be the most thorough thing that you could do.
  22. Do you wanna borrow some cash for Christmas?
  23. Haha, that'd be funny to watch... post a video.
  24. Just got word from the casting company, my first 4 sets of LED lights should be completed and ready for sale the week after new years. Once I get these lights, they will officially be released. Watch for a thread with pricing and info!
