i need to get some cash saved up i want to try the BT016, been reading up on them! and for that price is a crazyyyyy deal!!!
that's the going price for those.
they are just your average street tire. probably a slight edge over the 2ct.
but if you really want a good tire that performs like a race tire for a street tire price get the bt-002rs.
they are the same price. pm me I can give you a link if ruben doesn't have them.

if you have a truck take it to a shop. most of them will do it for $10 or so.

how are you going to fit large fairings in a oven? some fairings are rather gigantic. take a gsxr set of race fairings. you would need a walk in oven.
seems impractical when I can paint a set in an hour and they are ready to be mounted in 2-3 hours.
how would the body fillers hold up in those high temps for one. probably going to ruin more sets than anything.
but I'm still rooting for you. sounds very interesting.

DO NOT buy a harbor freight air compressor. for one it's a cheap assed china junker and it isn't priced much cheaper than a name brand compressor.
ingersoll rand makes most of the name brand compressors on the market. such as craftsman etc from what I was told.
stick with a name brand compressor if you want it for a long time.
I bought a cheap harbor freight one for using on the job for my nail guns etc, trust me it's not a heavy duty, well made, good parts compressor.
so far I've had to fix a bunch of parts on it. the regulator knob broke off, the drain cock broke off, the fan shroud broke off, the air filter broke off. the fan itself has a missing blade, it's just a total POS.
when buying a compressor you need to look at it's SCFM ratings. not what pressure it goes to. they all go to 130 or so psi and shut off.
it's how much air it can supply while it's running.
the best compressors are the oil filled kind. the oiless kind just don't have much scfm to them. usually around 5-6 scfm whereas a oil filled kind is around 11-15 scfm
you will need at least a 20-30 gallon tank to effectively run a impact, paint gun, especially a grinder or cut off tool.

How much of a PITA is it to get the plastics off to work on the bike?
race stuff is so much easier to get on and off.
I can have the whole set off in about 3 min.
should've used vinyl to mask it off. But then again, i do that everyday and have a 48" plotter at hand.Looks good doe.
you asked for it, I might be bugging you to make me something..
not hard at all dude.serpent-looks good, you doing any mid oh this year?
trackdays are on the far back burners for me this year. as sad as it makes me to say it.
with me only working 32/hr a week things are just too tight to spend too much money.
unless people want some paint jobs...hint hint..

the bbb is actually a terrible business.
the company I work for has an A- with only 1 (resolved) complaint and 0 unresolved complaints. another company in cincy that does the same work has an A+ with 4 unresolved complaints.
now tell me how this works again???
the BBB is fucking stupid.

now with some sun and a better camera..I love Blue.

after having a plain all blue R6 since 04 when I first had to paint it from a crash, I decided this time(but of course after I just painted it again) to switch up and try to make it look like the factory decals. only these are painted on.
went from this boring plain blue,
to this,
I'm totally digging it again. took forever to mask off and get both sides as symmetrical as possible. because you can see both sides from the front.
I still need to sand down the edges of the clear and buff away the scuffing of the prepped areas and it will be good to go.
I think it looks a lot better. not sure if I should do anything else with the lower. any suggestions?
-
what time were you there? I got there I guess around 7- 7:30 maybe and it was packed.
still kind of gay though. LOL
food is way too expensive...for the quality of it...blaaa. best wings my ass. if you want good wings go to allyn's cafe on colombia parkway
-
I'll be on my R6. I've been wanting to check out the food. I'm not much for bike nights though.

Wow.....I Paint...and I wouldn't even think about taking a trip to the supply house and picking up materials for that price.
Good damn deal here.
well it's more of a hobby for me.
it is a lot of work but I think of it as more practice.

Sweet. The 2007 wreck was crazy though I thought. Dude fucking jumped off his bike/body and went soaring!
that shit ain't no funny:( that's fing scarry.

I need to get my ass out to your parties sometime. my brother showed up but I was painting my bike.
-
if anyone local to cincinnati needs a paint job. I can paint for you $275. two colors $300
-
I also made these, and painted them for someone local.
I think he will like them. and he got a deal..$375.
my stuff.
a little too much orange peel. but it can be sanded away. this tank was tough to spray because of the bodylines and getting over spray on them.
on the bike,
before the white stripe that I added this weekend.
I just wanted to break up the blue.
I will be adding more white parts to the upper faring maybe next weekend.

yeah, they are idiots for sure. but it was a good example of doing it for real.
-
that's just a show for the camera. he isn't actually doing it right anyway.
watch real racers..they slide it up to almost the apex on purpose sometimes. not that far out before the corner entrance.
these are much better examples of how it's done...

RiP. I really wonder who crossed the yellow line since they're going by what the 20yr old girl said because the 44yr old Steven Avery can't testify on his behalf.
the rider did, he was passing a school bus. and met the car head on. the school bus driver was a witness.

both of my parents quit cold turkey when my dad had a heart attack when he was only 35...
my mom started again about 20 years later for about 2 years and quit cold turkey again. and hasn't touched one in 7or so years.
my dad hasn't smoked since.
I have never liked cigs.
my brother used to complain how they stunk when my mom started again..but now he smokes and is seriously addicted. he drives 20+ miles just to go get some in kentucky at a discount. but complains about driving that far to work???? seriously? damn shit is like crack..will do anything for a fix...

in LBTS GLWS

if you don't really ride very aggressive, the bt-016 is a very good tire. it's slightly better than a michelin pilot power 2ct. 35motorsports price for the 016 is slightly better (about $4)than the place I have a link to. but they have the 002rs for the same price as the 016.
