    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Screwy Gorilla???

No...sure haven't. Is that a straight cut gear? I can't tell...:confused:
 
When we were discussing Nessism's welding job on the basket I voiced whether you could drill & tap the rivets once the heads were cut off & bolt. That looks like exactly what has been done here....

Dan :)

Unfortunately we don't have anybody willing to fess up as to having done this and lived to tell about it :-#.

The clutch vibration could easily shake loose even red loctited screws that were torqued with those flimsy Allen heads :eek:.

I for one would not trust it especially in comparison to a welded alternative.
 
I don't disagree... I'd rather have a welded one too. Maybe if you drill a stepped hole & put a small spring in under the head (as per the bolts on the other side), that might work, they don't come loose :)
 
That's a new one to me! In all the years I've been building & racing them, & time at V&H, I've never seen that before. I can't say it won't work but I still kind of like welding over that idea. In a positive, I've bought from, & talked to the seller & he is an upfront guy. Want his phone #? Ray.
 
I agree with the welds being a better choice - especially for a street bike. The reason I say that is racers will pull the hub much more frequently and check it over, while street riders just ignore them until problems come up.
