Did the corro loop for the first time.

Fuck tomatoes how the hell does he afford petrol? It's like $60 to fill my bike from empty now.

Got a one piece clutch hub Pulled the body panels off and did the clutch slave seal because that went wees everywhere. Then pulled off the clutch cover. And ya undo those screw things and pull the hat off and you can see the shitty two piece clutch hub. Long story but just know that it's there to give you a light clutch lever, and it increases clamp force as torque is applied to the clutch. Ita a clunky horrible shuddery bunny hoppy piece of crap This is much nicer. And put in some nice red oil. And today did about 200km with @64valiant to visit the guys at garlic masters. Such a good improvement, anyone with a gen 1 or 2 busa should do the one piece hub ASAP!

Man, I have no idea how people use those adjustable hand pieces. I always advised that people try 4t (4 touch, the name makes no sense to me) when learning. This means one button press to start the arc, one button press to extinguish the arc. I found that for me personally it made keeping the correct angle (EG when welding around a pipe) and staying smooth and consistent a whole lot easier. using the dial to control amps takes things too far in the other more difficult direction (just my opinion) Your arms mechanics are not conducive to holding that button down and having smooth wrist control. This is made worse as many newcomers hold down the button too firmly (or the button on cheap handsets is that shit rubber dome that you have to press quite firmly) You can try it yourself with a pen or dildo/whatever (Seriously though, try it), hold a pen and move your wrist and pen around in varying arcs. Then hold the pen but this time push a finger into the side of the pen as if you were holding down the tig button. Often you'll find that the second time will be a whole lot less fluid and often will be a little jerky or shaky in your movement. I can do it right now and my wrist kinda shudders through some angles if im also pressing the button (Though it has recently been broken lol).

Damn that's unusual for one of those, bad luck

farkin hell.. time to make serious changes if thats the case.

Maybe thats because people drink more coke than they should, and eat less apples than they should.

And apples contain cyanide....what's your point.

I know many pro welders that use a dab of stainless when shit gets bubbly.. never even seen a failure coz of it. Never used silicone bronze but looks so damn nice. You'd like stainless stick welding. Super easy and it comes out delicious looking

I had no issues procuring acid. A little surprising but meh... I'm not about to go there it in anyone's face so don't feel guilty. Ps, Kim you provide the rubber gloves and safety glasses. Then after that we can play with acid

Found this photo from when it arrived. Is it what you need?

Pretty sure I have five liters of stuff sitting at work @Kimjon I'll grab it when I go in next. Just 90% or something so will need to figure out dilution.

My KTM had a shit battery when I got it and was sometimes a cunt to start.. used to HATE gas stations. Nothing worse than ppl watching you trying to kick start something like that.

It clearly states the 24v information. Wouldn't do this if it only charged 12v batts.

Should have whomped him one first for being an giant D.

I require pics of golf balls being fired through various materials plz. Car doors be good

Fark that's genius. A bullpup spud gun

Hey man I have some joints, pipe, weld in threaded ends etc here for the ute that won't be used for years (ever) if ya still doing ya tramp bars after lockdown I could visit with it all, you mind find some stuff useful

shit that is epic, I'd missed tons of updates so that was a cool surprise.

Good to see ya moving on this again Hope you are enjoying the new job!

Good work man! Hadn't seen this thread before today- was a good read! Pretty cool seeing your welding improve so much over the 4 pages.

Dude... Nice bike! Doesn't get much better than that. Doubt it will take you long to get it running like new. That color and tail looks great in my opinion..

Lol.. Just bodged it together... Damn, that sort of DIY is so far out of reach of the average person it's crazy lol. Love it.

@CUL8R damn this thing looks tough!
