Yeah, no shit. What did he order?? I didn't check this thread out every day for nothin.

Whats weird is I deal with a sheet metal guy every day that brings me machine work to do that has hand drawn prints. The guys shit is tight too. Since he's out in the field working on stuff he doesn't have a computer with him. So he just draws it out on these little cards. Sometimes we call him Picasso or Rembrandt just because his drawings are so good.

I use the Tag 2 CR-LO bend with my adapter. They are still lower than the stock ape hangers, and wider by around 3-4 inches it seems. But for me, them being wider gives me better leverage and over all control and feel as far as I'm concerned.

When the hell did that happen? I hadn't even noticed. Evil, I sent a reply to that email address, but it didn't work.

no

If you've had any experience as a machinist, then try your hand at being a programmer only. However, if you haven't been a machinist first and lack some of that experience, you might piss off a few people lol. Its been my personal experience that the very best programmers and the very best draftsman and engineers have been previous machinists. They know the ins and outs of how stuff is done, not just the G and M coding or know a few ATSM codes. The process and experience in the process is as important if not more than the programming imho. You can program something all damn day, but if you don't do it correctly, in the right order, most efficient path etc. you'll get no where with the job. But if you learn to program CNC mills and lathes, you can also do laser tables, plasma tables and water jets. Plenty of shit is CNC these days. You might want to check into getting certified running a CMM.

What a dick. Is there anyway you can get ahold of the Yamaha Corp to discuss this dealers ethics?? I don't know if there is a way to contact them, but I'd bet they wouldn't like to hear about one of their franchises acting this way towards a customer.

Yes.

How the hell do you kick that thing over?? Your right shoe must hate you.

About 5 years ago when I built my first trailer, I started with a 3200# axle (over kill, I know) and made the outer, lower frame out of 2" heavy wall (about .125). Then I ran a section of heavy wall (.250) 3" square down the middle to stiffen it up, and to mount the hitch to. I made the sides and stringers on the lower frame out of thin wall (.063???) 2" square tubing. Then I laid down some 1/2" plywood. I could still lift the back end of it up off the ground with some effort, and it lasted up until the day someone offered me $400 for it.

LMFAO On a side note WTF?? I just sent the DMV $60.00 for my YEARLY registration. WTFWTFWTF

WOW! I take it its for sale even.... The only offer I could give them for it is me giving them the finger and asking "YOU FUCKEN SERIOUS?" The shipping would be way more that its actual worth, like infinity times more. They should just stick it in the nearest dumpster and be done with it. The cost of the bandwidth used by me looking at it is probably more than the value of that thing. What a hunk of shit.

Most of those services will make you pay per number I think, but I don't really know of a service off the top of my head. The phone company can do it as well, but I'm not sure if they will do it on a number just because....here in Utah, you have to alert the phone company on the first call, then there has to be at least 3 more calls from the same number and you have to notify them each time. Then, they can get around to letting you know who the number is, except they don't. They give the number to the local sherrifs department and you still can't get it, but you pay for it. I guess they don't want any wild west justice to be served on some scrub.

Thats pretty much it. The one rule I heard about shipping a frame through UPS ($70) once is that it can't weigh more than 50 lbs, and it can't have any jagged edges hanging out that might injure someone. Mine came plain and unwrapped except the mounts for the fenders were wrapped in cardboard, and so were the head light mounts and the ends of the frame where the grab bar mounts.

More like alot of clearancing.

lmfao I liked that one as well.

Hole through it makes it stronger.

Good idea!! I should probably get this one

There is a radiator repair shop about 100 feet from my shop, and he said he didn't have one that small. I know they make them...and I've seen them for motorcycle and atv radiators, but I can't remember where now. Maybe Eastwood has them

And I'll kick in another "I agree". I've been using a small #2 flat blade like WallRat said, and I've also been using a dental pick type tool as well. I use them both. The pick for the really fucked up fins, and then use the flat blade against the other side to hold it flat. Works okay.

When I'm browsing K and Ns I go through that or just the www.kandn.com and click on something that shows all filters. Then you can sort between different sizes and number of openings n shit.

The radio stations won't ever get that figured out. Same thing happens here. They played one Long Beach Dub All Stars song about 5 times and then just went back to plugging the Sublime. They have 10x better radio stations in Idaho than they have here.

Nothing truer spoken. Last year in Dumont I was dead last nearly every single group ride we went on. I pull up haulin ass, and there are guys in their 50's already walking around talking about shit....I'm just sitting there trying to catch my breath.

LMFAO Do they have a novice division for people my age?? I'd probably have to race in the PW class to stand a chance.
