Hey, what kind of tool are you using you to cut the curved ends on your round bars before you weld them together? Once I get the hang of welding I'm probably just going to stick to square rods for a while because they only have to be cut straight, but things made out of round bars always looks so nice. The parts I'm referring to are the ends on the left side of this picture....

4-1/2" Angle grinder and some swearing. Welding this tube is hard so it burns through easily. Making it pretty before hand is a moot point, lol.

That's cool, I didn't know if you had some kind of special tool that will cut different sized curves into the end of pipes, like a reamer or some kind of router.

What kind of welder are you using for all of this? Learning is one of my short term goals, but I definitely have no plans of being able to rebuild a subframe for fear of it falling off while I'm riding, but someday I'm gonna be looking to do some of that stuff.

Hell yeah! Looking good

That Acewell looks like it'll fit great up there on the triple.

tt_four · March 04, 2010, 10:20:21 AM

Dude, I have to say TY. The attention to detail of the photos and description of what you are doing! I wish Buddha had a bank of pictures like this to refer to when he explains things.
I agree, but quoting 19 pictures in a thread is pretty annoying.

I was just trying to make a point

So if I want your opinion I will ask for it! What's more annoying is people posting large pictures or people thread jacking and not talking about the subject at hand like I just did to address your comment. But you can say what you want that's why I like this forum and sorry to others that had to scroll through all the pics on smart phones.

O.C.D. · March 05, 2010, 08:03:53 AM

Hey, I will look at my own pics any day, lol.

Yev · March 06, 2010, 12:19:05 PM

You are a mad man! I love this build so much!
Also, where did you get those side covers and how much?
Thanks,
Yev

Hi looking good but in the photo looking at the rear of the subframe it looks like its about an inch more to the left.

Oh crap, I built it crooked?!?!?! LMAO In the picture I was not in the middle of the frame while standing behind it.

looking real good! I'd love to do an sv headlight someday; i just took my bike out of hibernation.

did I ever send that resistor to you? I forgot, i had a lot going on over this winter.

O.C.D. · March 09, 2010, 08:16:52 AM

Nope, in fact I was going to pm you about it as I forgot which one I needed. Can you maybe tell me which one and I can go to the shack to buy a few?

psyber_0ptix · March 09, 2010, 08:25:01 AM

you need a 1 megaohm 1/4 watt resistor wired inline on the yellow tach wire. Sorry i dropped the ball on that, i am staring at 5 of them right in front of me. It's up to you, if you want to run out and get, or if you can wait till i buy stamps lol.

Chanse · March 09, 2010, 08:50:57 AM

HAHAHAHAHAHA I did the same thing with a high speed cutoff wheel. Kinda burns the flesh away instead of cut... It was all hard and crusty, and looked more like it melted the skin....

I like the wheel stripes!

Yev · March 15, 2010, 08:30:06 PM

RED FTW!

O.C.D. · March 16, 2010, 07:57:02 AM

Red it has been, lol. Did them all up last Saturday. Clenaed the rear sprocket carrier, axles, mounts, ground the swing arm for the R6 shock, mounted the rear tire, mounted sv headlight, and many other things. It is back on two wheels.

I am about done sanding the tank of any blue from before, lol. Pics tonight.
