  1. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 22 Nov 2011 16:15 Ok so I made a couple more housings last week. I tried doing some different things with the layup process and different cloths and I think I've found a method that will save me some time. But they are still a PITA to…
  2. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 27 Aug 2011 19:30 Yeah, I may do that and see what happens...
  3. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 24 Aug 2011 18:50 laverda82 Hello Okiengr, I read your post a few years ago and was curious to see the outcome, but forgot to follow you due to some other things (finishing university, the birth of my daughter...all the small things :-)…

  6. gp shorty pipe for a 5th gen 30 Oct 2009 19:03 I have a "GP Style" pipe that I made a couple years ago that I haven't done anything with that I was going to sell. Let me know if you want it. I can't guarantee that it won't make you lose your hearing :warranty: , but…

  8. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 14 Jul 2009 17:38 Sorry to post here for this but I'm having serious issues with the mail server here. Dean, e-mail me at clintongrell@yahoo.com. I have your tail light ready to go!
  9. Succesfull Twin Exhaust? 15 May 2009 16:29 I inquired to veefer800canuck several months back about the diameter of the Devil cans he has and here's what he had to say about them: "OK, I measured the cans last night, and they are something in the order of 3-3/8"…

  11. Bar Ends 11 May 2009 12:58 I have the same HMVP bar ends (11.8 oz) and I don't think that I noticed hardly any difference from the cheapy carbon look ends that were on it. I dunno, maybe if I went back to the old ones I would notice. I still get…
  12. New Undertail Exhaust 4 May 2009 20:48 O, this is great. Three questions; when did you chrome the rear wheel; what cost. Third, when's the kit coming? Wrestler I bought the wheel off a fellow member. It was already chromed so I can't tell you exactly how…
  13. New Undertail Exhaust 26 Apr 2009 00:59 Just to let those who are interested know, I'm looking into maybe copying the pipe. More than likely it will be either 2" or 2-1/4". I don't personally see any reason to use the 2-1/2" that I did. Most all M/C exhausts…
  14. New Undertail Exhaust 24 Apr 2009 16:31 Got any pics from the rear? Any clearance issues with the tyre (tire) ? This is about the most rearward picture I have. Hope this helps. I don't have any clearance issues with the tire. It gets close but there's…
  15. New Undertail Exhaust 24 Apr 2009 02:17 OK, I have to take the whole "this is equal or more powerful than previos exhausts" comment back. When I got the bike done, I only test rode it once with the disks installed (here in Wichita). The next time I rode it, I…
  16. New Undertail Exhaust 23 Apr 2009 20:10 I love home brews like this. One Q though...in the third picture, the up-pipe sure looks close to the tire. Looks like it would rub a bit when the suspension compressed. Or it is just a funky angle of the picure making…
  17. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 10 Apr 2009 13:58 Great! That worked! I figured someone else had to carry them too. Good find!
  18. It Is Now Time For Some Serious Modifications... 27 Feb 2009 17:26 Sweet, just in time for tax return season! :laugh: I'm thinking that was on purpose! :biggrin: Now we're all gonna be in trouble with the extra cash in our hands and a supercharger within our reach....... :laugh:

  21. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 15 Apr 2008 15:06 I saw this question asked earlier in the thread, but wonder if anyone knows the answer as to what effect running a straight or minimally baffled pipe will have on the MOTOR - anyone know if burned valves are likely in…
  22. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 15 Apr 2008 15:03 I could have a stock exhaust and rampage through town, darting in and out of traffic, blowing by people, everything in the book to piss people off. NONE of you would have said ONE SINGLE WORD if I had posted a video…
  23. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 16 Nov 2007 03:44 What with all this wasting of time?? Where's my Okie1 ™ taillight kit? :lurk: :P Actually I think it sounds awesome, but it needs the slash-cut tip. I also understand the argument against anything that threatens our…
  24. Remote Start/alarm 16 Oct 2007 20:33 I have a keyless remote start alarm system still sitting in the box that I have had for a few years now that I was going to install on an old bike I had but never did. I mainly bought it for the alarm system. The remote…
  25. Dn-01 15 Oct 2007 15:46 I'd like the DN-01 for a touring bike. There are many touring bikes out now that look much worse IMHO. Too bad it only has 65 hp though. :( That is it's biggest downfall to me. Other than that, I like the SSSA and…
  26. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 9 Oct 2007 13:58 Good thing that was my brother's neighborhood and not mine! That way, I don't earned the "Hellion" title in my own neighborhood :P . What does that tell you??? I wouldn't want you near my neighborhood or state either!…

  28. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 8 Oct 2007 02:59 I did get a short clip for you guys. It's not the best but it will work for now. This is after 1000 miles on the exhaust and she got louder and louder the more I drove because of the steel wool breaking down (I think).…
  29. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 3 Oct 2007 12:31 I made another baffle and this one took out the nuisance noise that I had before. I just got it complete last night and I had my fingers crossed hoping for a "quieter" sound and I got it! It sounds so awesome! Probably…
  30. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 28 Sep 2007 00:22 Update for you: What I tried this time was installing a 1.5" dia pipe inside the tip with 95 1/8" diameter holes. I plan on capping the end so all the air and sound is forced out the holes into the packing of the tip…
  31. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 26 Sep 2007 22:07 Ok I went ahead for a test ride and as soon as I started to leave the driveway, I knew that this setup would be too loud. When you rev it, it's not terribly loud, but under a load, it speaks with a different voice. I…
  32. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 26 Sep 2007 16:09 "I was surprised at how it wasn't terribly loud. Believe me, it's loud, but I don't think that it's any louder than those straight pipe Harley's cruizin around." Running this type of exhaust, just like those straight…
  33. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 26 Sep 2007 14:50 What I did was use the silencer spud from the old staintune and clamped it with the old staintune clamp directly into the end of the header collector. It was too loud to get away with alone. So I dug up someone else's…
  34. Moto Gp Style Exhaust For Only $23 25 Sep 2007 23:32 As most of you know about the Staintune getting stolen, I honestly couldn't bear to think of going back to the stocker without trying to rig something else up that could actually pass for legal. I looked around for…

  37. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 24 Jun 2007 17:05 I got an idea that I need to bounce off you guys. That bottom of the new light makes the back look really square IMHO. With a license plate there, it's not so bad. So i was thinking of doing a little variation. So what…

  39. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 11 Jun 2007 18:29 Well I finally went out a few days ago and bought a new Dremel and it solves pretty much all my problems that I was having by getting into those areas that I couldn't quite get with my fingers. :thumbsup: So now I am…

  41. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 24 Apr 2007 14:23 Again, sorry for the delays guys. My wedding has been taking up a lot of time and I haven't touched this project at all for a few weeks. I put my old light back together just so that I could ride to work at least and…

  43. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 18 Jan 2007 03:33 Well got a little started so far. I couldn't find a place that carried 3M #78 adhesive so I had to order it and still waiting on that so I can glue the pieces together. Ordered some lights from 1tail.com as well. Both…
  44. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 10 Jan 2007 17:59 Well Riv, it sounds like you know how to go about building this thing. Maybe I'll turn this project over to you! :lol: I'm still thinking about which tail lights I will use. I can get some regular round tail lights like…

  47. Molding A Different Tail Light Section 8 Jan 2007 15:05 Officially call me an idiot and learn from my mistakes. Don't put your tail light into a 230 degree oven. It sort of...melts. :goofy: I had it in for 200 and seemed fine. I was trying to get the silicone that holds the…
