so .... last post was 15 Ap17; how'd it turn out; assuming your riding now?
.... spiffy shop you have there; looking out your log house, hardwood floor, living room window; my wife wouldn't let me work on my bike in the living room ....
Metal in the frame; do you know exactly what it is?...was just looking up duc frame metal spec; is it 4130 cromoly? or E420M UNI 10296-1. shorthand for alloy steel, or 450 which is a factory's designation for a particularly complicated alloy ...
cheers D
That's a friends house. He and we, his 'friends', have converted one of his three living rooms into a work place/man cave. The rest of the house is occupied by old and/or grumpy hunting dogs and decorated with weapons and whisky. He's single and expects to stay single
The bike is finished and runs great. Suspension better than ever, new T-drive discs, painted plastics. The harness is old and probably next on the to-do list. I now have another couple of things to fix or hide after a 350 feet slide on a wet track day - lost the front wheel when braking from 110 mph.
I can't remember anything of what I found here while researching frame material, but I had the frame welded twice last year with good results. I believe the welder did it as if it was 'ordinary' steel...
