Well let me know...I have been kickin around the idea of attempting one of my own, but i really dont have an area to use 'glass in that wouldnt stink the house out. Not only that, but i dont really have the tooling to build a buck out of wood, nor do i have ANY experience with 'glass, and i would prolly save on my sanity buying one...lol Airtech has a pretty sweet one, but your design actually strikes my fancy a lil better. My frame i think is a bit shorter than yours, so i might have to mod it a bit, but who knows.

BAH finally home guys. Pics are currently uploading. Please hold

[TheCafeKid]

bout damn time...lol Holding...

[Ironriot]

Lol damn its an impatient crowd here tonight

Alright well this is the seat. IT wasn't how I originally planned it too look but it was my bad because I gave him a pic of this one and told him that's how I wanted the SHAPE. Well he ended up covering the seat in the same style. Click the link and you'll see what I'm talking about

I'll post others tomorrow I was kinda in a rush today. Plus the sun was going down and it was making for some BAD lighting

Oh BTW here's a few pics of the front sprocket. Talk about certain death


Look at the lovely teeth on this baby


And for Beergood. Hehe this is what constant work on a large spaghetti bridge will result in. MINI BRIDGE BUILD OFF lol. Me and my buddy made little bridges. Only rule was that you could only use ten pieces of spaghetti

DOOD i think that seat looks good! How much did it run you if you dont mind me asking? And yeahh...that sprocket?? WTF???

[Ironriot]

To cover it... and mind you he had to add on the rear half of the seat's length in foam, was $30 bucks. The material is some marine grade material... Don't really know what it is. All I know is that its completely water proof and feels better than leather. Plus the guy says that its meant for durability in a salt water atmosphere and sun doesn't fade it. I only needed 2/3's of yard, actually probably less because 2/3s is alot and for all the material it only cost 10 bucks plus taxes. So about $40 dollars

AND the sprocket. Yeah well seeing as it was held on with a brass compression union cap and no washer I guess I really shouldn't have expected more. Looks like it had been on there since '85 lol

[TheCafeKid]

looks like its been on there since the bike was built lol...man i hope you didnt ride that thing with that sprocket on there...did you?? lol

[Ironriot]

NOPE thank god. I completely disassembled the bike before I ever rode it. Lucky I decided to take it apart huh

[TheCafeKid]

Man i think im going to have to break down and BUY my seat with this next paycheque...that and a Dyna S ignition...

Well yeah! Tho i dont think you would have gotten going very fast or gotten very far before something, the chain or the sprocket itself gave out...that looks to be a bit smaller in diameter...I wonder if that was some machined part the PO made or had made? Definately doesnt look stock

[Ironriot]

Actually the reason it look that way is because the crown of the teeth already wore away. Those claws are pretty much the very edge of what remains of the teeth

Sweet Chinese star you have there.

I remember having to do a small balsa wood bridge (12" long or something). I don't remember what glue we used. What I do remember is thinking that the glue is stronger than the wood (like most binding agents), so I made a lot of laminated beams and surreptitiously varnished all surfaces that weren't obvious with it. Some people would call that cheating, I called it creative problem solving. I won that contest also, and my conscience never bothered me.

It seems to me that $40 to have a seat redone is very reasonable.

Thats good...creative problem solving..i like it...lol Hey on the Epoxy question..are you planning to coat a bike part with it??

[Ironriot]

Sweet Chinese star you have there.

Yeah I was considering selling it to a ninja lol

We were gonna coat the entire bridge with glue, particularly Gorilla glue BUT I think we're having a weight problems already. Either way if it doesn't hold alot I think we'll still win becuase most of our class is pretty dumb

If it works, I plan on coating the tank, tail, frame and anything else that suits me.
