It was one of the first films I had on DVD.

Will there be cake?
Metallica cunning stunts on ps2. Couldn't believe the quality through a Scart connector and 68cm t.v. With analouge Yamaha amp.
You need the rainbow licka sticka first.
If it doesn't stick the first time you just need to lick the back of it over and over until your jaw locks up. Then boom fully sticky fully qualified. Might take 4yrs.

you'll need to speak slowly for me

ohai

what do you know about getting custom spokes done? Got a woof in the front rim, was going to motard it anyway, so was thinking of slotting a 17" hoop on the front. Problem is, I need to keep the speedo drive in the front hub, so swapping a YZ rim is not an option

So you have a 19” rim and wanna fit a 17” rim with spokes to suit?

Nah, 21" front hoop to a 17" hoop

Brake clearance etc is already checked, and rim sourcing is easy, just hit a wall when trying to find spokes. I am thinking they will have to be made? Or do you know if mine can be shortened and rethreaded?

Why wouldn’t 17” standard spokes fit?

Because angle out of hub is too far in compared to standard?

If u can find someone who already does the wheels or a model of bike that already has motard wheels the u could buy the spokes from a dealer

standard 17" hub has no speedo drive, so its about half the diameter and about 2/3 the width.

We think very similar

Unfortunately, 17" rims on XT's are usually acheived with an entire YZ460  front end swap as you get upside down forks of the correct length, a triple tree that bolts straight on (and has steering damper options up the wahzoo) and a 17" rim

What you dont get, is a speedo drive. This is usually sorted with a $500 electronic dash, but its actually a stickerable offense to do this, and I dont have the coin for the dash or a crumpled YZ anyway.

Plus, speccy upside down forks and a front disc setup designed for dirt, isnt really going to match the rat rod/street scrambler vibe I am going for

Im a motorcycle technician by trade. If u dont need the bike ur best bet would be to buy a 17" wheel then find a wherl builder to swap the hubs. 17" fitment with ur original hub assebly.

Yep, I am hearing you, but I am looking down the barrel of spinal fusion, and am off the bike for 6 months so I am really needing things to do to it, (because if I dont pull it apart I am going to end up trying to ride it, plus) and need shit to keep me busy

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
