I guess I am one of the lucky, gainfully employed guys here. And I am extra lucky to have today and tomorrow off(not quite as lucky as MickeyX)!!! I sure hope things start looking up in the new year up for everyone having a hard time... Hope you all have a great Christmas!

Happy Winter's solstice my fellow heathens... may your days get longer (at least in the northern hemisphere).

Is that a spray can paint, painting?

Yup. I have the video of the guy painting ours, but it's not digital. Here is a youtube of a similar guy painting on the streets of Cozumel.

finished polishing my gsxr1000 top tree, strange, it seems to be a "whiter" aluminum, wont buff up to the mirror shine like the lower tree...
anyone have an idea why?

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22336 on:** December 24, 2009, 03:14:17 PM »

I used my usual method, it just wont come to that chrome shine... like there's a white metal mixed into the aluminum. Magnesium?

I've polished other pieces on the cb750 with the same result, like the drum cover.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #22337 on:** December 24, 2009, 04:32:05 PM »

different metal composition ,

cast alloy (cast anything technically, but aluminum especially) when it is pored isn't the best mix
(witch is why your suppose to heat up cast alloy before welding it.)

i'd bet your bottom tree was billet

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22338 on:** December 24, 2009, 04:50:29 PM »

it was cast too, I had to grind the casting rib off.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #22339 on:** December 24, 2009, 04:53:09 PM »

then for sure different foundries or just a different (cheaper)mix

i had the same thing happen with the brake res. cap , and the cam cover end caps

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22340 on:** December 24, 2009, 05:01:24 PM »

my cap was the same way too.

It looks better in the sunlight

Everyone be nice 'till the morrow or else black peter will throw you in a gunny sack and beat the #$%* out of you...

I'm bored.

I don't know what to do for a headlight bracket.

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #22344 on:** December 24, 2009, 06:51:00 PM »

IC, couldn't you fab up a bracket using the lower fork pinch bolts as the mount for the headlight???

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22345 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:05:41 PM »

possibly, but I was thinking of getting a T plate welded onto the center of the frame and having a fixed headlight.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22346 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:09:19 PM »

something like this.

but i think that might put it too far away from the bike and it would look out of place

Spikeybike · « **Reply #22347 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:48:50 PM »

that could be cool ... but it could also be hideous ... would be tricky to get it close enough to look good , but far enough to not hit the headlight IMO

i'm interested ... in case you haven't noticed , i like walkin the fine line between cool and totally stupid
(not just bikes either

)

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22348 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:52:33 PM »

It looks good in my head but i'm worried the trees might hit it if it's too close to the frame.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #22349 on:** December 24, 2009, 07:58:47 PM »

I was thinking turbo intake pipe clamps and some custom brackets.
like this

my problem is the fork tube goes from 50mm to 45mm to 55mm.
