  1. Would you be interested in doing some plywood trellis type panels for me? I just have some random designs (tui, grayfish, fern etc) that I'd like profiled out for a feature wall plus a few more to sell. Like this: (Lol, jokes )
  2. Got a 24L fuel tank from a guy in aus. Not noticable while riding (it's narrower than the bars so who cares) and means I can do much more than 150km before fretting. Took it to work today too, that was lush.
  3. Fark imagine a woman that welds, builds cnc machines and safari truck things. Take my money
  4. Hi Nick. Where did you find your models? Draw them up yourself? I'd love to have him mill up a thumb hole stock for my model 7 but I have no design drawn up yet. I have a number of nice walnut blanks too if you want.
  5. Omg, you could sell quite a few of those in a heartbeat. I’ll take one, seriously.
  6. Man that must have been a huge amount of work to get blocked out nice.
  7. Pretty Impressive!! Why do you have a scanner?
  8. Wow this is confusing, but interesting.
  9. Computer chair swivel stand is genius
  10. Rediscovered this thread @tortron your video and comment made me laugh for a second time.

  12. Done a few hundred km on this since fitting the fairing, wider seat, battery tender, dampened sprocket and Vapor dash. She's a WIN so far. The fairing is extremely effective at reducing pressure and buffeting to chest- unfortunately that air has gone up into my helmet area and increased noise, so have sealed up helmet vents as they are known for being loud. The wider seat is SO MUCH NICER to spend time than before. Its true what they say, 2" makes all the difference. The battery tender (as mentioned numerous times) is fucking magic. I can crank this thing for ages now (has happened a few times when forgetting fuel tap) The dampened sprocket has removed the harshness from the drive train. Its nowhere near as good as a full cush hub but its night and day difference to before, and far far far cheaper. The vapor dash should be standard on all road legal dirt bikes. Having water temp is brilliant but the biggest benefit is having an easy to use trip meter to plan fuel stops. The new higher location and bigger screen is soooooooo much better to, so very happy. The night before Greg went away on holiday he also did some sewing for me. I got a waterproof belt bag from Rebel Sport and had him stitch on an extra strap plus form a loop. I was trying to copy the expensive Giant Loop setup and reckon we had 100% success. Its super handy and in a far better location than any normal "tank" bag as real-estate is limited. It fits all my annoying things needed while out. Bottle of water, keys, wallet, phones etc Also went for a great ride on saturday - followed a mate on his new R1 thing - He was being careful so it was easy to keep up. Figured out when riding nicely I can get around 180km to a tank- The Vapor has made this much easier to track..
  13. got any more pics on how you did this? very very nice work.
  14. STICK A VIVID ON IT AND DRAW REALLY ACCURATE COCKS!!!
  15. This man makes a good point. Edit. Actually, it might, chain just needs the right number of links so it doesnt land on the same link with the same tooth each time....?
  16. I really liked it before he continued the exhaust waves (pics below for others)
  17. There is a fella on youtube with an open source router design. I think it's called indy cnc or something. Basic common sense design that I really like and he has provided parts lists etc. Excluding the laser cut parts and electronics I was surprised to add up 800$ worth of ali express ball screws and extrusion/slide things. Is that pretty standard for a 600x600 machine?
  18. This could quickly turn into the HOW TO MOVE A CONTAINER HOUSE thread. My vote is no chains. Use a hydraulic pump on end of crank, connected to a hydraulic motor that drives the oil pump.
  19. So this charger is fucking amazing and has bought back 3 batteries that were otherwise dead and only just functioning. Absolutely amazing and 110% should be on everyone's wtb list. It's definitely more than just a charger.
  20. Our friend @64valiant made my seat about 2" wider by removing the taper on the sides of the cushion. Should be a little less punishing now. First we pulled the old cover off and let the foam dry out for a week. Then Greg glued some new dense foam to the sides of the old. Then he did some foam shaping with the grinder. This part always looks like the most fun. He must have a pretty good eye because his stuff always comes out pretty darn symmetrical Then he covered the whole thing in this thin fabric reinforced foam. It makes sure that none of the foam seams and lines will show through and also helps hold all the foam together. I didn't get a photo of that but basically the black stuff ended up stuck to the seat And then he stretched/ stapled and heat gunned some motorcross/dirtbike gripper fabric over the whole thing. And here it is installed. i then drilled and tapped a radiator bung thing to take a temp sensor. I used temp sensor sealant. The temp stands for TEMPORARILY SEALED THEN STARTED LEAKING FFFFFffffffff So wheeled it back into the shed and ordered the correct adapter from usa because none available locally. Ffffffff
