White06Shee Posted January 6, 2008 Report Posted January 6, 2008 Im Going To have My Frame Lightened ( All Excess Tabs Cut Off And Welds Smoothed Out)..... And Have A V-Bar Welded Up On The Rear Of My Sub Frame.... Is $200 A Good Deal?? Thanks Guys Richard Quote
xXBlessedWithDeathXx Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 hell no. do it your self and save. if i was to charge i would say $75 Quote
RoostRocket Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 its not a bad deal i cut all the tabs off of mine with an angle grinder and it was really easy. i know a guy up here that charges $100 to cut the tabs off alone so im sure it would be around the 200 dollar mark for what he is doing for you. if you cant do it yourself shop around and see who you think will do the best job with the most resonable prices, but remember you get what you pay for. :thumbsup: Quote
SoCalinIt Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 That's not a bad price at all man! Quote

BigRed350x Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Use an air cutting tool or a dremel and a cutting wheel and you can do nice clean cuts on the retarded stock gussets and mounts, and use a sanding wheel/disc to clean everything up. You can do a frame in an afternoon if you have some basic tools. Quote
fastrthnu Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 how much weight are you really going to shave off. Dont eat for a day instead. save $200 I dont get it. I could see for looks maybe. Id use I light filler and sand it rather than make weld beads smaller though, but that just me. cutting wheels and grinding wheels are $4 at the home depot. Quote
okbeast Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 Hell no that is the biggest rip-off ever IMO Quote
Bansh-eman Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 if that is including getting a new sub frame from chromoly then yes that is a very good price. if its juts cutting the tabs then no do it your self in like 2 hours with a angle grinder Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 I paid 350 to get mine completely chopped, new shock mounts, chrome alloy sub frame, sand blasted and powder coated. you can do most of the work your self though. depends on how far you wanna take it. my bike was 46 lbs I cut it down to around 25-30 so you can save a bunch of weight. this is a drag only bike though, I do not dune it other than to get to the drag strip in the dunes.

White06Shee Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Posted January 7, 2008 well its gunna be cut off tabs, grind down the welds so they look better, and like what roostrocket did to his sub frame out of chromoll, im getting it powder coated black so i want it to look good Quote
badassbanshee479 Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 kinda looks like my frame :biggrin: you can do most of that stuff your self with a little time and effort Quote
BigRed350x Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 how much weight are you really going to shave off. Dont eat for a day instead. save $200 I dont get it. I could see for looks maybe. Id use I light filler and sand it rather than make weld beads smaller though, but that just me. cutting wheels and grinding wheels are $4 at the home depot. Lighter is faster. Simple as that. A totally stock frame with the rear grab bar in place weighs around 50lbs. If you remove all the stock mounts for shit you dont use they will get down around 40lbs. Losing 10lbs in a day from not eating isn't a very easy task. I'd rather take the few hours and grind all the nasty looking shit off my frame. Quote
[email protected] Posted January 7, 2008 Report Posted January 7, 2008 listen to red buddy , he did some work for me and HOLY SHIT my frame is light 41lbs to be exact. And its stretched up front =-D Quote
