    If I payed $150,000 dollars for a brand new Festiva, built exactly like it was in 1983, and you paid $50,000 for a brand new Ferrari, with all the super advanced tech that a thoroughbred race career instills on such a vehicle, and I told YOU to get a real car like a Festiva, would you make fun of me?

    if your going to have this CNC machined (which I'm assuming you are) You could call a steel supply house and get two pieces of Alum ingot several inches wider, and larger in dia. than you need so it could be machined down. a piece of 20" ingot alum shouldn't be that hard to locate.

    If your looking for a true blank like you said, with the centers and seating surfaces already done, your best bet would be to call a wheel manufacturer that cuts billet wheels, but due to liability issues, good luck getting them to sell you one.

    Sorry, you want an Aluminum BILLET, not INGOT, Billet is round, ingot is poured into a pre-cast shape.

    Harleys sucks. Period. There 50 years behind the rest of the world (At LEAST). They sell tee-shirts, and gay leather fetish wear. Any grown man with tassels on his handle bars needs to step back and take a SERIOUS look at himself.

    "The Motor company" is more of a pagan religion than anything. They sell Junk and they know it.

    Check the Suzy site on the M109 Boulevard.

    http://suzukicycles.com/Products/M109RK8

    Notice on the right there is a link box to important things, like SPECS, I'll cut and paste for yout

    Notice at the top is Tecinal info on the engine, Displacement, compression ratio, bore and stroke, even oil system. Real info about the bike. useful stuff. stuff you can actually compare to other real info to decide which would be a best investment

    now off to "The Motor Company's" site to look at there latest "lets throw everything in the back room into the field and see what the goat shits out next week that we can sell" ************ (I can't even bring myself to call what that thing produces a motorcycle)

    :lol: Holy shit. It's worse than I expected.... This is Harley's "Features and specs" section for there powertrain section of the top end bike they sell...

    -Air cooled, Rubber mounted, Twin-Cam 110tm engine

    -6 speed cruise-drive tm transmission

    [/end of document]

    Thats it. Thats all they wrote. THAT is Harley Davidson's ENTIRE spec sheet for their bike. They KNOW their selling you recycled shit. the most cutting edge stuff they have is the tires on the bikes, and thats only because they're buying them from other manufactures. RUBBER MOUNTED engines? WTF? My engine is solidly mounted to the frame, and is an INTEGRAL part of the bike, it's a stressed member, meaning the engine its self is a supporting section of the frame, and my bike STILL vibrates less than a POS Harley! Please explain how this makes any sense!?

    And if you think buying a HD is buying American, THINK AGAIN! EVERY electrical component, and about 80% of everything else is made overseas, it's simply ASSEMBLED in America. Honda has a more American made bike with it's CBR line than Harley does.

    They sell boxed Patriotism, and a pre-packaged image. They lie out there asses and won't publish a single spec of useful info, because there isn't any. if anyone actually sat down and looked at any other bike alongside the precious Harley they'd quickly see how big of a piece of shit it really is.

    want some real proof, go ask any motorcycle police officer who has to ride a Harley how much he loves it, how reliable it is, and how well it corners and stops, not to mention how incredibly powerful it is!

    The only thing Harleys are is NOISY.

    You've got more balls than me my friend. I'd never swing my leg over anything made by HD and willingly go over 50mph. That and the bass ackwards front brake they've got has never gotten a good review that I've read of. Of course they finaly got the front forks on correctly.

    Are the race bikes belt drive like the street versions?

    Very deep :lol: I'm emotionally scarred :p

    I'm not saying it's ugly, it keeps growing on me every time I see it, it just looks generic. Kinda like they didn't want to commit to anything to radical or edgy, and thats what they came up with.

    I'm sure its an awesome bike, and like everything Honda does, I'm sure its done well, but it just looks, generic. I don't know, it doesn't seem to have any real identity or personality to it. Its just kinda there. Ya know?

    Uh, Just thought I'd throw this out there, I've got a good friend who's family has a cabin, lake, and a good amount of land if people felt like meeting all the way up in Y-town. It's out in the country and pretty secluded. Doubt it'd be a problem if we used it.

    Thought I'd throw that out there, He has a 6 kegger every year and it's always a big hit, although never enough beer, they're usually gone by 930 :cry:

    ....and every year there was a token (insert non Harley bike) that had been tossed on the camp fire and riddled with bullets. Hondas seemed to be the most popular bike to bbq year to year.

    Well, when Willie G's Flock, also known as "The Unwashed", hear that there is something out there thats 2x as powerfull, half the cost, rides better, Stops, enjoys actual QUALITY workmanship, and doesn't rattle your teeth out of your skull, The Flock tends to get angry. Since there is really nothing they can do about it, and they know that the competition has a better bike, they hide in the woods and beat up in-animate objects.

    Fuck Willie G.

    Fuck "The Motor Company"

    Fuck "The Flock" of sheep that follow him

    :D

    Have a nice day :banana:
