WTF?? :? :lol:...I can just imagine the look on a customers face if they were to walk in his shop to see how their bike was coming along....and see someone "stressing" the frame of their bike they're paying thousands for, with a skid steer...just to fit the motor :x
Brute:
Ouch! Yeah, that would be a bit much... A come along or 10 ton port a power would be fine :lol:, but a skid steer? Guess it depends on whether it was one of the big ones or the little bitty ones... :-o
I think it depends on the amount of correction. 4"-5" off correction is ok :-P but when you get above 9" it gets questionable. :roll: I suspect next we will hear about 'heat treating' aluminum frames with a rose bud.
Can not imagine this guy will last long with multiple people posting bad work. The worst would be if someone gets hurt.

yeah...that's just "it".....talk about taking your own life into someone else's hands there...hopefully that'll never happen.

Yeah MPS is not a place I would trust

I've heard nothing good about mps. I had the start of my build posted on Facebook. I just began the cutting and they starting bashing me saying they've never cut out the cradle of the bike and I'm doing it totally wrong and I should have brought it to them blah blah blah. Then they also claimed how I shouldn't listen to the forums about building af's because they're all a bunch of amateurs. I've seen some of the best builds I've ever seen on here, let alone the welding is night and day compared to their welds. The guy doesn't seem too nice, so I'm glad im doing it on my own because I won't rig it together because so the quality of the build will be very good compared to someone who's just doing it for the money. Also the guy who is welding my bike is very good, I've seen his work. I say if you want to build a bike do it on your own, or if you have the money get one through service honda\Kawasaki.
