Here are a few bikes from May. Will have new pics in a week or so when i receive my crossroads bars and my carbon parts. (airbox, flyscreen, front fender and heel guards, and chin fairing) only have the seat cowl now. Am getting the carbon from allcarbon off ebay.....I know its crap, but I intend on painting it some crazy greenish color. Any other buellers in Canton or Akron?

Nice sliders - look pretty beefy. What rear turn signals are those? Oh, and by the way - if you plan on selling those here, I'm sure someone will speak up about being a sponsor...figured I'd give you a forewarning. | ||

They are made by Shock Racing, #222-1001 mini #1 -26 bucks a pair. I have a question regarding turn signals....I only have the rears installed, the fronts are on back order.....why do they blink super fast now? anyone ? Help. Please. Are we allowed to sell things on here? What about just hooking friends up for trades, I just make them on my lunch break at work. It's not like I mass produce them. Ive made them for my liter bike friends. Also have made some stunt cage style bars also. Working on a 12 oclock bar for the xbs now. | ||

They blink faster because you no longer have the same amount of resistance using only two signals instead of four. They should slow down a bit when you get all four back on line. The selling of items is a sensitive issue. people who sell items on this board (other than the occasional part or two) are required to pay a sponsor fee. When a given seller is using the board to sell items or parts, the board is technically being used as advertising, which aint free. Blake or one of the other Moderators can speak with more knowledge on this. | ||

Nice. Very stout indeed. I love that pic with the cat. Does that kitty have a license to ride?  | ||

Sinatra- The sliders look very nice, and very well machined. I just can't help wondering if a bit more radius on the corner might may them less likely to "catch" on the road and cause the bike to summersault. The Shockracing led turn signals blink too fast because the relay that creates the blinking needs to see an electrical load in the circuit that the leds do not provide. The fix is to connect a ten ohm, ten watt wire wound resistor in parallel with both the right and left turn signal circuits. You can get the leds to slow down with a one watt resistor, but it will get hot enough to burn your fingers in just a few seconds. The 10 watt wire wounds stay cool. The resistors are a stock item at Radio Shack. (Message edited by gentleman_jon on June 16, 2005) | ||

thanks gentjohn. very helpful......i love radio shack. yeah, i am making another set tomorrow that will have a bigger radius and some machine grooves in them to add some "spice" to them. I will probably end up with like 5 or 6 different sets. I just cant ever decide. metalstorm, no she doesnt have a liscence. She has failed the test twice now. LOL....She just jumps right up on it all the time like she owns it. She sleeps there. | ||

I haven't made any of those sliders yet, I was thinking the city X and streetfighter guys might like some that are knurled, kind of like the trick pegs that we used to put on the BMX bikes to "freestyle" in the 80's. Anyone dig that idea? should go well with spiked spaggetti strainers.  | ||

diablo thats exactly what i was going to do with my next set, knurl them just like my freestyle pegs on my HARO. great minds think alike. | ||
