bad_ass_fabrication Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 well since we are talking about safety...i noticed while looking at your subframe photos on your website that you use mild steel...i'm pretty sure if i was to be buying one of your subframes i would want high quality steel holding my ass on the seat. " I would hope that you give good thought about the conditions in which loads are applied under different situations placed onto the parts that you build so you do not have to worry about part failure" An average 200 lb guy sitting on the seat when he hits a whoop and bottoms that bike out probably puts close to 850 lb/in of pressure on that cheap ass subframe. trust me that measurement is a very close approximation, i am going to school for engineering and have taken plenty of physics classes to back up that estimate....consider chromolly...thanks for the "professional" advice tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellar Performance Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Wow....really? I hate to tell ya, but everything is built using chromoly. When I started designing and building parts a long time ago, I used mild steel to test build parts to cut back on more expensive material waste. I guess that I should update my site since it hasnt been touched in well over a year. But hey, thats cool. I probably have no clue what im talking about. I've only built a few parts over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Tim, Not worth your time explaining to this guy... While we all can appreciate you having our backs when it comes to safety over looks...this guy doesn't get it. I was wondering why this was in roosting room, but after reading the thread, I understand why now... bad_ass... Show us pics of work you've done personally, in action and in the spots you mentioned. Does Doug over at D&M use YOUR products? If so, you have a leg to stand on. But we all already know the answer to that question.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
