thanks for all the help craig. your a good friend.

DutchZ's thread is a good one, he built a killer mean, old school lookin Kz. It's worth it to read his thread. I believe you have already read my project and swingarm threads Joe, but a friendly bump from Craig doesn't hurt.

He makes a good point though - you should always have a good reason for the mod you're doing. Nothing says amature hack faster than changing something that doesn't need to be changed, for no other reason than to change it.......But that doesn't apply to me or my carbon fiber parts. Do as I say, not as I do......

just a quick nose, noticed ppl talk about painting teh frame, a etch primer is fine after you sand the frame etc. evevn hammerit NO.1 rust killer and primer in one. ment toi be good stuff and if ok on bare metal. comes up smooths im told. painted or sprayed.

wrong thread brother.:dry:

adam, but i am a amature!

its $15 bucks for a 6061 T6 1" OD .0624 ID tubing at 12" plus whatever loctite costs.......not too bad for my swingarm mod cost on a sleeve.

its about time people got back on the site!!!!:laugh:

But do you see the typo you made in your post about the I.D. being .0624", instead of .624"? Thats what I was busting your balls on. Now I'm just gonna tease you for copying and pasting a bunch of crap that doesn't matter

Huh? Sorry guys...you must be lost...this forum is for motorcycle enthusiasts. Rocket scientists have their own forum....I think!:blink: :laugh:

"Joe the Rocket Scientist".....hmmmmmmm, how about just "Joe Rocket". You already have a line of riding gear.....I'd go with that nickname Joe!

Well, he does live in Florida, and it's well known that he likes to get, uh, "high."
