RB30VB 379 Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Hole is probably too high for it to be used as a bong.. but what I really wanted to comment is, as someone who has experience cutting glass etc, that is IMPRESSIVE that he managed that with a hand drill ! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

a.craw4d 6,095 Posted July 23, 2019 Report 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 post Share on other sites

flyingbrick 9,359 Posted July 29, 2019 Report 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 post Share on other sites

MightyJoe 4,961 Posted August 4, 2019 Report 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. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NickJ 4,056 Posted August 4, 2019 Report 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 post Share on other sites
MightyJoe 4,961 Posted August 4, 2019 Report 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 post Share on other sites
tortron 65,882 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 In the past I have laid the bike and engine on ground and aligned them that way 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MightyJoe 4,961 Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 i hung the bike on ratchet straps from the rafters and then it was high enough to use my trolley jack  2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post HighLUX 33,147 Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Report 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 post Share on other sites
Kimjon 5,606 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 @HighLUXÂ 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 post Share on other sites
