<< < (2/3) > >>

sintax:
Come on BDI, now you have me all curious. How about you share with the rest of the class how you did it.

AJ:
a shorty plug that might help you guys with tank clearence

BDI:
That's very good advice on the plug AJ, I wish I would have known about those plugs when I built my Bike. I hope you guys realize how lucky you are to have this site. When I built my bike I had zero help.  As far as I knew, mine was the only one in the world. All I ever got from people was that it would never work and it couldn't be done. That would have stoped alot of guys from doing it but it drove me even harder just to prove I could do it. On my head stay I use all five of the head bolts on the front of the head. I was afraid that if I only used the front three over time, from chassis flex, the head stay would crack and fail or it would pull one stud out. The head stay I built took alot of design time and a couple of failures to make it fit. If I was to build another one I would change it again by 2mm, then it would be perfect. That's how precisly built it is. I feel sorry for anyone who trys to copy my head stay from pictures. I know their are some very talented people here that could do it but I gaurentee most of you would be way happier to just buy one allready made. The head stay I built was the hardest thing I did on this bike but that was my own fault I'm cursed with a sikness called perfectionism.
