Hey all, I am making my own harnesses for the Coil over plugs I bought of ebay. I am using a set of R1 COPs and part of the deal was the R1 harness was included. I used the R1 female plugs for the COP ends and the vmax coil plugs for the other side (mine had some cracks so I decided to cut...

Definitely part of the Segway market.... This guy though he could strap a V8 to one big wheel. Around minute 2:56 you can see how well it works.... I think I will remain on two wheels http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4YmVP6i4qw

Just incase they actually sell this bike and take down the craigslist ad here is the image. I have to imagine that this modification is not cheap. Custom swing arm, new wheel, longer chain (or 2 chains I can't tell), rotor, sprocket, custom length brake line. That fender looks like you can...

Haha, maybe four more front tires would help too!

I wish someone had told me this wasn't a good idea! damn...:bang head:

Handles like this...

I have to imagine olympic or intense blue would be a pretty damn close match... you could almost order a roll and try to cut and wrap the parts yourself. This is 3m vinyl I used at the sign shop I used to work at. 3M's 180 line was pretty easy to work with. A sign shop should be able to order...

Just a thought... Just need some light blue vinyl. A good sign shop with good quality vinyl should be able to wrap the scoops and side covers and cut you a nice stripe. This way if you want to change it you can just pull it off and you still get to keep the nice white paint Engine would...

It's not that I am saying a 15" radial will be dangerous, just that the benefits may not be as great as switching over to a larger diameter rim. If anything handling would be similar to bias plys. I know how my old bias ply tires felt in the corners vs. my radials now and it is truly night and...

I have to agree with Garrett on this one, with a 15" rim you have a lot more rubber that can flex. With a 17" or 18" with less side wall it doesn't allow as much flex. That being said bias ply and radial tires are constructed differently and having a 15" radial may improve handling it would be...

When I first bought my max one of the scoops was cracked. I was taking a welding class at the time and my instructor offered to weld it back together. He Tig welded it without a problem I had him add extra so I could grind down flush. I then powder coated over everything and it was lookin good...

If you have a welder you can make something relatively inexpensive. When I first bought my bike I wanted something to keep my girlfriend from flying off the back but I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I built this out of some scrap steel and a old cobra back rest I had hanging around. It was...

I saw this awhile back.... always makes me laugh

Also as another warning DO NOT use regular aircraft remover on any plastic parts it will eat right through them. I tried it as a test on an old fairing and it took the paint and a layer of plastic off. I do believe they make A/C remover for plastic and fiber glass.... I have never tried it tho...

If the paint is in good shape and not flaking you can use a wet scotch bright pad scuff it really good, wash, dry and put your base/clear coat right over it. If you are doing a serious color change you can even put down a primer first over your old paint. SEM primers work nicely...

My factory pieces were polished aluminum with a clear coat over it. It won't matter what is on there once the A/C remover hits it you can basically wipe it off after a couple minutes.

The aircraft remover shown in garrett's post works really well. If you can find air craft remover in a jug its even more potent. It is strong enough to eat powder coat and will take that clear coat right off aluminum parts.

Update.... I bought the square tubing and the new swing arm and I got to work mocking everything up. I decided to go with a tab to bolt the caliper mount to. I figured this way I can use a nylock nut to make sure it wont come loose. Getting everything cut down the way I want...

Not a bad idea, maybe I can adapt that with this new swing arm I am bracing.

They have some 11 GA box and rectangular tubing which would be nice. I will ask them about moly tubing as well. I only have a Flux core welder so I wonder how Moly will weld to mild steel with that.
