Damn! After that, who in their right mind would buy that! Title: Re: cheap 1098 rebuild Post by: Randimus Maximus on December 20, 2009, 07:09:04 PM why would he put a reserve on the thing if he really wants to get rid of it?

A few years ago on a DMF group Arkansas ride a buddy low sided and buggered up the left side foot peg bracket and shifter assembly. While the rider rested up his bruised body in the motel room me and another guy spend the afternoon JB "welding" the bracket and foot peg assembly back together. I thought we did a damn good job. [thumbsup] He was going to slab it home the next day on the interstate stuck in 4th gear. Our "repaired" JB Weld fix lasted about 200 yards!! [bang] The rider had to make the 350+ mile ride home stuck in 4th and his left leg stretched out on the remaining passenger peg. [clap] [bow_down] I would have needed lifetime chiropractic care! :P Hey... it could have worked!

Title: Re: cheap 1098 rebuild Post by: corey on December 21, 2009, 09:21:16 AM i once molded an entire windshield wiper arm mounting assembly out of that shit. it was cheap pot metal that broke in half... so i stuck it back together, and then coated the entire thing in JB. then i sanded it down nice and stuck it back on the car, and spraypainted it black. sold the car like that, and i doubt he's noticed yet.

"1098 engine for sale" attached junk included ;) Title: Re: cheap 1098 rebuild Post by: Privateer on December 26, 2009, 01:23:47 PM when I used to mountain bike all the time and hang out at the bike shop, there was no end of people coming in the shop with JRA stories.. "Just riding along" Usage: "I was just riding along when the wheel folded up."
"I was just riding along and the swingarm snapped."

Title: Re: cheap 1098 rebuild Post by: He Man on December 28, 2009, 10:22:31 PM he bought the bike salvaged. so im sure it had some type of damage already on it.
