    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I went with 17/47 when I converted to a 530. My thinking was to use the 47 rear to compensate for a shorter (70 series) tire. So far it has worked well. This was with a stock motor.

Dave,

did you notice any diff in rpm's in diff gears. ie: crouzing rpm on the hwy? is it the same?

or slower or faster excelleration of the line?
 
One thing the bigger sprockets do for you is smooth out the trip around the drive sprocket. Should lead to slightly better chain life.
 
I feel the acceleration has improved. You must understand that I had some clutch issues to work on at the same time. Now that the clutch is healthier, I can say that it pulls hard enough until common sense takes over, because I am usually running out of road. The RPMs seem to be about the same as before the driveline/tire change, which is OK by me.

In regards to Ebay...You have recourse...1st..file a report with your states attorney general, they will forward to the state where the fraud took place. 2nd, fille a report with the postmaster, mail fraud is serious business. Also check with local PD or FBI. You dont have to get ripped off and settle for it.

I would be wary of those who want cash or MO only payments. CC or a money transfer systems offer you protection. You can pay for added protection. If you pay by check, you may be able to stop payment, even aftyer the fact. This happened to me one time. Guy sent me junk, he actually got payment on my check, but my bank(CitiBank) put a stop of some kind and I got my money back(lucky 475 bucks). Now I had the money and his stuff. He had to send me money to get his stuff sent back to him. I actually made a few bucks on that one at days end.
 
I payed by paypal but outside ebay.

I have warned him my next step is the postal inspectors office becuse using the postal service to defraud is a federal offence.

I also said I would be filing claims with paypal, ebay, MN state police, FBI and the IFCC. "internet Fraud Complaints Commision" they are sponsered by the FBI.

He told me he would refund but not until he had the evidence back. I said not a chance. His tuern to trust since his integrity was in question.

I have given him until end of business today before I proceed. NO answer yet.
 
You can file with Ebay...you'll probably die before you get action...the other routes are quicker and most effective. Go get him, post his info around if you havent alredy, news like that spreads quickly and keeps others from getting hurt. Good Luck!
 
buddy has come to his senses.

now on to what is important............

Tell me, eeeuuuwww's an apppy boy?

WooHoo! I think this one is going to come out nicer than your last project Rob :)

thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's bike

Aww, heck. I'll covet anyway. :twisted:
 
How much does a bearing support like that cost??

Do you need to disasemble the whole bottom end to install it or does it just bolt on? I've heard people say it's not really needed unless you're drag racing but I'm still curious.

With that 5/8ths offset are you going to run a 190 tire?
 
I looked at them and they were a bit pricey. Bolt on. I don't know about katman, but a 180 is the biggest tire I could put on mine. BTW, it's plenty big.
 
the kit is 399.00 plus shipping from PMFR.

it is bolt on. you have to bolt the back plate on before you install the cog. then bolt on the front plate. It bolts to stock cover mounts and comes with a second mounting plate that you can weld to your frame for extra support.

not needed if when you are running street with cush and not dumping the clutch every run.

I was told buy the seller it isn't really needed but will extend the life of the counter shaft bearing. I don't want to be pulling any cases apart any time soon.
 
finnished the rear wheel. was going to go with a black hard anodized sprocket but think I will stay with the bright. or maybe not I don't know yet. 180 is mounted and balanced. Dunlop sprotmax d205.

Yes I pollished the hub.
