school project, maybe.

not sure i'm painting anything with por15..... but the engine is aluminum, close enough to silver!

 

[Lynx_Genisys]

just polish it to a retarded amount, will be close enough to silver..

 

[bighead]

Por15 silver does not spread and self leval as good as the black. I say the silver is junk. Don't use it.

I painted my motor with rebuilders cast aluminum spray paint. It has a really cool cast color.

Never por15 your motor unless it is 100% tore apart. Por15 WILL weld your cases shut and all the nutus and bolts.

To me, that almost looks sandblasted.

i'm hoping to order the parts today,
engine
wheels/tires
sprocket
brakes
then a few trips to home depot and the hardware store.

i still have to:
make or modify exhaust (not sure yet).
finish tank.
make fenders.
make frame/forks.
make rear hub.
make engine mounts.
make seat.
sell extra parts from engine kit to recoup some cash.
paint frame.

i have 2 1/2 weeks to do all that (not including last two) but one week i have no school.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

[r97]

my new my headphones are awesome!!!!!!!

 

[redsox985]

What did you get? The Dre Beats have incredible sound.

 

[r97]

i got a pair of sony MDR-XB500's, i can't compare them to the beats, but they sound awesome and at 50 bucks free shipping on amazon, they blow the beats out of the water! they are super comfy too!!!!

 

[Bluethunder3320]

i have those sony extra bass ones, they were $30 i think. work great! sony is the best.

 

[r97]

do you have the ear buds or over ear? these are what i have, there awesome!

[Bluethunder3320]

Yeah, those ones, but i have the 30mm lol. Wait i think 30mm. I have the smallest out of the series of 3 whatever size it is.

 

[redsox985]

If you haven't worn the biggest Beats you haven't heard bass. These things hit and reverberate like a pair of 12's. I have the larger Sony Extra Bass ear buds. They have way more hit than the smaller Extra Bass buds.

These are mine. $30 on Amazon.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

Yea, id rather spend $30 on the small ones than $100 on the large ones.

Im not a big fan of ear buds= bass though, they just seem too tiny to make big sound.

 

[redsox985]

They really aren't. For buds, they're huge. They have those separate drivers that make them bigger but also allow for much more sound. They're the best I've heard for less than $60 MSRP.

 

[r97]

like i said, you will not be finding me with beats any time soon, wayyyyyyyyy too expensive, and reviews are so so.

blue, do you like the 30mm ones? i was thinking about getting them, but i really liked that the 40mm ones are over ear.

 

[r97]

got my parts ordered last night, i hope they get here soon!

 

[RedLine Go Kart]

maybe you can make a trike

 

[r97]

what kind of trike? if you mean reverse trike, i already got one!

 

[r97]

din't get much fabrication done today, but i did create a 3rd or 4th sketch-up model, gathered all the measurements, made up all the notching templates, and started boring out the head tube to accept bushings for the forks.

hopefully i can get the parts by the end of the week!
