a.craw4d Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Currently ripping out a pair of these. Motorbike for scale. Measure in at 1900mm long, 300mm high. Should only need a block or 2 to get the silv onto them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 That turnbuckle is genius- though not sure if you planned it to be that way? you can vary how much the rear wheels want to go straight (shorter turnbuckle = they want to go straight rather than swivel) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MightyJoe Posted August 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2019 I changed the HGs on my bros bike. I Kinda enjoyed it, and kinda stressed out about it because I've never touched anything with 2 wheels before but it runs sweet as now its really crisp and way more responsive than it ever was. I was pretty stoked with myself. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickJ Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Really like working on bike motors, don't need lifting gear to get all the bits off! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJoe Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I was kinda freaked out I had to dismantle the top end to get the head off which is something I'm not used to but with the workshop manual it was all good. 46kg total weight is nice I'm not gonna lie. But the 3 point pivot thingy between swing arm, rear motor mounts and kick stand was awkward when befitting but turned out all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post HighLUX Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 Kids wanted to do better skids on their pedal kart so a quick hunt thru the offcuts and random stuff at work got me a short length of mains water pipe at almost a perfect id to go over the wheels. A bit of pre heating of the sleeves to soften then then worked them on with a hammer. A quick test run tonight proves it has enough traction to get speed up and can drift with enough entry speed I need to fold up some flat bar to lock the diff so to speak then it should slide alot better. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimjon Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 @HighLUX out of interest, what's the ID of that pipe? I currently drive past 2 civil projects where they're using this stuff. If it's the right ID I'll approach them with a box of beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
