zeitgeist57 Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Not to go too OT, but I was up in Troy, MI for a business offsite meeting a few weeks ago and Waze had me go to the wrong address. I re-routed and it took me through this old-money neighborhood. Off to the left was some 1900s ivy-league-looking campus...then I passed the sign..."CRANBROOK". I nearly sh!t myself. I told my coworker in the car with me about the 8Mile reference, and how I can't see anything "Cranbrook" (including a housing community near me off of Kenny Road, north of Ackerman) without cursing it's existence. BTW, F*k Michigan. The weather blows, the highways are HORRENDOUS both from an unnecessary traffic as well as ROAD DAMAGE standpoint, and everything looks 25 years' past it's prime. Congrats on getting the bike to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Beard Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 That thing was moving even with going up hill. Glad to see you got it together sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted May 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 32mph on flat road yesterday per Waze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Good job on getting one together. looks fun! Now that you have done it, time to put it on a mountain bike with disc brakes and suspension. 32mph on something with clincher brakes would make my butthole clinch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did put a front rim brake LED headlight and tail light, and center kick stand on it yesterday. The front brake definitely helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Beard Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 That looks amazeballz! how much heat do you get off the exhaust right there next to your leg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 That looks amazeballz! how much heat do you get off the exhaust right there next to your leg? Very little. I can put my hand on the stinger and it's not hot. I think the expansion chamber cools it significantly. The head on the other hand...the cylinder head gets REALLY hot. So the tune of a few hundred degrees. I can't feel it through my pants, but you do NOT want to touch that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
