So i have some MAJOR updates. I got two frames in yesterday!!!....
I love the way they look, they feel very strong, the quality of the work looks excellent and am happy overall with it. Here is dustin with his.
The BAD NEWS: wrong frames...there was a minor mistake when sent out from the shop, both of the halves did not have the full fairing tabs of the mount for the stunt stay welded on, as ordered. which put a damper on my whole day. and means even more of a wait time to get this all squared away.
The GOOD NEWS: When i called Billie at Bad Ass Industries. and told him this he apologized for is fuck up and made it right! (will be doing business with him still) I'm sending my half to someone that ordered a street fighter one and he's sending mine out on saturday and throwing in a new round bar for me, (my old one is trashed). Dustin has access to welding and billie is sending him the parts to do it him self and hooking him up with some product as well.
for a shitty situation to occur like this it ended up working out ok. i have some more time to break down my parts for powder coating work on the engine casings paint. also i need to start pulling every single bolt out of the parts that are getting powder and label them.
so last night i cleared some work space and drained the oil with two 5 gallon buckets and my roommate as my stand lol
put the engine in a trash bag so no dust or other shitty things could get into my engine
heres all my parts ready for powder (except the frame, i just put it in the picture cause it looks sick)
and i was on my way home from work and passed by harbor freight tools and grabbed some zip ties, a stunters best friend, 2 bucks a pack!
