    Video recording rig

    I Downloaded Shotcut tonight and Wow, I'm liking it so far ! I really like how you can work on the native files without spending time to import them, and found t was easy to add a flip filter from the editing time line. Thanks for the recommendation. It's definitely better than the utility...

    2020 - GEGcorp "Dirt Bobber Trike"

    I cleaned up the tabs and ground the welds off the tops of the mounting plates l Next I did some trial fitting at ride height and full droop. First photo is at ride height with the heim joints in their happy place. Second photo is at full droop and there is interference against the sway bar...

    An oddity..... I had an issue posting a "nested" link where a google search produced a document. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp/132/018/ecp17132181.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwiW-JaYqe_rAhVKTd8KHTSdD30QFjAMegQIBxAB&usg=AOvVaw3A3t_Jlz-5cLaDKHAXqYJ_ It seems...

    DIY 5 speed shifter kart

    Good to hear it running even if you started it without the button. I have had a few challenges with the with the harness on my project, but most of the time the issues are with things that plug into the harness :) or the person that is doing the plugging and unplugging. Use your voltmeter...

    Places To Ride

    From what I have seen ORV parks require DOT helmets and have operator age requirements too. I searched for ORV and OHV trails and parks before COVID hit, and found multiple sites that list trails and parks by states. Some parks may be closed, others may not be suitable terrain for a mini...

    Budget stock 212 Hemi TORQUE MONSTER build!

    OK, so I admit I was not really curious about this thread until I saw some pictures about what you are up to. I actually read a few pages and saw where when questioned about modding a 212 instead of buying a larger engine, you presented your point of view about what I call "why I DIY"... to...

    Video recording rig

    JT - Despite your slam of software you admit never trying, I will check out Shotcut. I see according to the features page at Shotcut, it should be capable of a v flip if I need to do that again. BTW, AVS software makes some good utilities that I have found useful in the past 10 years for...

    Video recording rig

    Last year I got interested in karting and built a really fun yard kart. Part of the fun has been to try and share the view from the drivers seat, and that has been a challenge so far. I tried using my phone as a video camera, but driving one handed is not safe at >25 mph in the yard, and I have...

    Budget stock 212 Hemi TORQUE MONSTER build!

    Sorry if I missed the detail, but are you using epoxy to make the (short side?) of the runner smaller and change the shape ? Nice work documenting your results. I did some head work years ago on a set of 460 Ford heads and struck water, but must agree that basic tools and a steady hand can...

    2020 - GEGcorp "Dirt Bobber Trike"

    Got the replacement links. These are made of steel and adjustable length. They will allow me to turn the lower mount 90 degrees so the 45 degrees of suspension travel will go around the bolt rather than all that motion going side to side into the swivel part of the link. I will have to do some...

    2020 - GEGcorp "Dirt Bobber Trike"

    Video of a couple more miles of testing. Ended up breaking the right anti-sway bar link on a full bump drop. Looks like the the outside tab (first picture) was too close and popped the plastic. Now shopping for aluminum links with misalignment bushings to give extra clearance between the...

    Is there a possibility to allow uploads of the m4a file type for audio so we can share engine sounds ? Just limit to 1.5 to 2MB to share a 1-2 minute clip instead of something big enough to be a copyright liability.

    smilie test

    Not much of a emoticon user, but I use a text smiley :) ':)'or frownie :( ':(' to keep from having to scroll through and find one that meets my emotional state. Sometimes I feel somewhere in between, like :/ or :>) but those do not translate. 1) Is there a guide on the text that is translated...

    2020 - GEGcorp "Dirt Bobber Trike"

    After making the first weld, I discovered the rear brake needed to be bled out. I pressed the lever and it bottomed out against the foot peg. :( The fluid was pretty nasty, so I opened the bleeder valve on the rear caliper and pumped the reservoir dry then cleaned it out with a rag. Then a...

    2020 - GEGcorp "Dirt Bobber Trike"

    One more control mod... last night I decided to hack up the foot brake and make it more conventional. The standard rear brake lever is too far back for the new foot placement. Being aware of this, I tested the use of the "heel actuated" brake a few times and found that it took me an extra 1-2...

    Here is a comparison of the suspension roll before the anti-sway bar: Here is the full lean test with the anti-sway bar installed : With rider leaning to lift a tire: Bouncing with my weight loading the springs.

    2020 - GEGcorp "Dirt Bobber Trike"

    Got the anti-sway bar mounts and the control arm link brackets built. I took extra time to get everything centered at ride height and tacked it all into place. Then I raised the front end and checked the sway bar links with the suspension at full droop and the links are clearing the brackets...

    New Software!

    Actually, there seems to be an issue with Minibikes trikes etc.... that one takes you to post number one. Also I tried another random thread post and the Jump took me to post #88 but that was not the newest post. I checked a few of the 2020 Build off threads and noticed the Jump is...

    Just logged out and back in... now I see the Jump to newest button on this thread. Seems to keep newest as the one that was newest when the page was loaded. Probably working as expected. I will keep practicing my web navigation skillz... Thanks !
