so just for my own piece of mind and general curiosity , i just checked my photobucket account

they allow you 10gb of of bandwidth per month ,(that includes all your pics AND the bandwidth required for others to view them) and it resets every month

my account has 935 photos 90% of them are high resolution , and 13 videos with 7 of those high resolution (720p and up)

that currently is at 1.4gb (14% full) ... so i don't think i will be needing a pro account for quite some time

So you have 1.4gb of space used, but how many GB of bandwidth have you used? It is listed under account settings - account stats.

I just checked and mine is now at 9.5GB out of the available 10GB, luckily it resets in 2 days.

It's the bandwidth useage that matters with Photobucket. If you exceed the bandwidth they close down the photos, until it resets. If your still over they will shut them down again. Then they pester you to go Pro. Easy way to not get stuck with Pro (annual fee), is to just open another account with a new email address. My internet provider allows up to 5 email accounts, I'm on my 2nd (for Photobucket) now.

lol, nice

that 1.4gb is the total bandwidth used... i didn't look at the time but it reset 9 days ago ... so i'd guess that it's not that much , but most of the threads with all the content aren't popular anymore, therefore not using as much bandwidth .. and all the stuff i post in the Inspiration Gallery is hot linked.... so i guess it all depends

You can use facebook to host your pics, I don't know what the specs are, but I have around 300 pics in my face book account but I also have a photobucket for personal and another for dads body shop.

you can use google's picasa too. i paid to upgrade it as i have some pictures on there and was approaching the free limit. i think i paid like $10 for 15 gb or something for a year?? good deal IMO!

Zaipai · « **Reply #455 on:** March 08, 2011, 04:22:25 PM »

Or you can host your own server

I have a 1/2tb limit and bandwidth is limitless. However my uplink is a bit restricted however for the most part its not that noticeable.

That said, I have a picasa, photobucket, flickr and Facebook accounts to place video's so I don't have to pay for a faster uplink package.

I apologize to joeyputt for the hijack, I am sure the hijack will die out soon.

Facebook hosting is a good idea, seeing as a lot of us probably put our pictures there anyway, just gotta make the album public. I'll give that a shot.

Thats a good idea, I already have

joeyputt · « **Reply #457 on:** March 08, 2011, 07:37:26 PM »

Brothers it is cool and actually I learned something from this as I was not aware of the bandwidth usage, I just checked it and it said 5% used but I am not sure when it last reset.

I do have a photo gallery on my website as well that I could use more if I need to.

joeyputt · « **Reply #458 on:** March 10, 2011, 07:43:51 PM »

I designed and built this engine breather system.

Here are some of the parts I used and the bracket that I built.

Here is the can after I got the fittings in place and the can mounted to the bracket.

I also started building the right side header plate and welded two studs into the bottom of it.

I replaced the original fitting and added a second one to the engines top cover so that I could run dual stainless braided lines. Here is the breather system on the engine.

Looks fantastic man.. I don't know where you get these ideas, just glad you do..

All I am going to say is that imitation is the highest for of flattery, and that...you will be seeing something like this on my bike now. Thanks for the idea!! (sorry)

Thank you for the compliments Brothers! I am happy that you like it!

Brother Zaipai we developed this type of engine breather system for our dirt track racing engines and I thought it would look cool on the bike!

That is awesome Brother Frankenstuff, build one and put it on your bike!

Thank you for the compliment Brother 754, I am offering these to the public for sale but I have not advertised them here as I did not want everyone to think I was only here for business but seeing as you mentioned it I have universal aluminum and plastic tank models available, they come with five feet of braided line, clamps, and several choices of colors for the filter.

Flying J · « **Reply #464 on:** March 11, 2011, 10:54:32 AM »

pm me with a price

PM Me too with a price... Chrome filter.

Thanks

brother Joey this thread is fantastic (although my employer might not share my enthusiasm given how much time I just spent reading it).

Really fantastic work and even though I am banker and not an engineer, the tech aspects have been facinating too. I am looking for ward to following your progress on this bike.

Danny

joeyputt · « **Reply #467 on:** March 11, 2011, 08:43:04 PM »

Brothers ffjmoore and brettster26 let me figure up how much I have in the parts so that I can give you discounted Brother pricing.

Brother Bankerdanny thank you for the compliment and for taking the time to read through this thread!

I built the right side header plate yesterday so today I built the left side plate, finished shaving the front of the header for the correct angle, welded both plates onto the header and bolted the header to the engine.

Here is a photo of the header with both plates welded on.

Gman · « **Reply #468 on:** March 12, 2011, 07:46:09 AM »

Brother JP,
I have truly enjoyed reading your build thread and am impressed with the level of expertise and craftsmanship. With that said, I am equally, if not more, impressed with your character - you take the time to respond to all commentators; you patiently answer the same questions w/o snide comments, and you include everyone in your circle of enthusiasts by calling each and everyone "brother". Good for you and many thanks for showing such class. (And, of course, it goes without saying that I drool over your bike.)

Cheers,
Greg

joeyputt · « **Reply #469 on:** March 12, 2011, 08:37:48 AM »

Brother Gman thank you for the kind words, I do consider everyone here as a Friend and Brother or Sister, with all of the support and kindness everyone here has shown how could I not? I do thoroughly enjoy my time here and am very proud to be a member among everyone here and whether we all agree or disagree on different ideas and technologies in the end we all share the same love affair with these beautiful engines and motorcycles. Thank you for taking the time to read this thread and your comment shows that you my Brother are the class act.

Here are a few photos of the header and breather system bolted on the engine.

Man that looks cool. It looks like it will be difficult to find a good place for a seat but im sure you will find an amazing solution.

Thank you for your confidence Brother ffjmoore! I am building a pretty cool seat that will probably be one of the most artistic pieces of this build, my dad says that I had a vision for a seat and had to build a bike to put it on! The seat is going to be a cafe style single seat race tail with a aluminum heat shield on the bottom.

Zaipai · « **Reply #472 on:** March 12, 2011, 03:47:19 PM »

Hey Joey,
I have to say, the way this is shaping up its going to be in a lot of magazines both online and print.. Its sooo cool.

JOey, make sure you run a tail pipe brother or roasted nuts will be the order of the day....

Very nice work bud....
