I think pie cuts would look better than cheating the bend, plus if I understood the shape correctly, I would assume the pie cut version would flow better.

Re: This might be just the coolest thing we've done yet :)

I'd much rather spend the time putting the wiring harness into the car and installing the engine into the engine bay, rather than a test stand. As for testing for knock, you do realize theres no load...

Re: First cage done by me 10 point

I dont personally think the front bars make much difference. My bars follow the roofline really close, besides the car body sheetmetal isnt that much nicer to smack your head either. Sure as hell...

Re: Recent exhaust work

On stainless you can do it with heat, so I would assume its the same with titanium.

Re: How much is this helmet worth?

8th graders? I wear a medium helmet too and I'm 30. I'm sorta between an M and L, so I went with the smaller one, as the L had lift on highway speed.

Re: How much is this helmet worth?

Jstn, basically, because theres no certain history of care and also helmets do tend to mould somewhat to the person, kinda like a shoe to a persons foot.

Re: engine bay seam crack, should i weld?

Def not weld them completely, if you're going to weld them, then do it by the normal strengthening weld, with 1-2" of weld and then 1-2" of clear and so on and so on. Then paint and seam seal it,...

Re: 2011 Yamaha FZ8... what do you think?

it looks cool, but I'd cut off that undertail that holds the plate and blinkers and make something sleeker.

Re: to all soon-to-be new riders

Re: 2011 CBR250R

Re: 2011 CBR250R
