Author Message   Silverbullet Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 09:18 am:        The bullet is still down and the Hemi is at the dealer for a emissions pump. I am out for tonight .   Kdan Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 09:21 am:        Odie - I like it! Do you foresee any problems leaving the belt exposed like that? I'm torn between Aesthetics and reliability when it comes to removing the guards.   M1a65 Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 09:23 am:        Thanks for the info Chris, I'll just pick up a spare belt.   Odie Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 10:04 am:        Kdan- I only removed the bottom one but I think the top will have to go also. I am going to run a new, improved belt after I'm done getting yelled at for the stuff I've done lately. I don't anticipate any problems though. Granted, I won't be off-roading it though so it should stay relatively clean. Thanks for the compliment!   Fran_dog Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 10:13 am:        Odie: Looks awesome! S_B: You will have mail soon.   New12r Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 10:13 am:        http://photos1.blogger.com/img/55/3348/1024/IMG_5284.jpg I think that is minitrucker in front!!   Deadman Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 10:19 am:        M1A65: You will have to change both front and rear sprockets if you want to run the new belt. It would definitely be worth it if you could get a deal un the pulleys...   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 11:29 am:        Odie, the bike looks killer. Now you HAVE to come to Bike Night!   Stealthxb Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 11:31 am:        B_S... That Trojan bike is tight. I wonder if they took the idea from me. I had taken a Hillbilly-Motors bike and put the graphics on a mock-up...hmmm! Odie.... Well done man, your bike looks great! New12r... I think that is minitrucker in front!! I agree!   Buell666 Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 11:44 am:        ODIE, BIKE LOOKS KICK A$$. AND YEA, THAT IS DEFIANTELY MINI TRUCKER IN FRONT. ARE WE MEETING AT THE DEALER TONIGHT? WHAT TIME?   Odie Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 11:58 am:        Fran/Stealth/666- thanks much! I'm very happy! 666- pipe is almost done but may not make it out by friday. Monday for sure though. (Message edited by odie on September 15, 2005)   Black_sunshine Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 12:03 pm:        Odie....wow! Never would of guessed that the CityX plastic would look that killer. May I suggest you primer the Chin faring and side pieces as well. Like I always say, "better to ask for forgiveness that permission." It's always worked for me.   Black_sunshine Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 12:14 pm:        Drift...you have mail   Buell666 Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 12:27 pm:        COOL ODIE. THANKS ALOT.   Odie Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 12:29 pm:        B_S- thanks man!! I was real surprised when I bolted them on and stood back and looked at it. It looks killer I think. I have thought about the chin fairing color the same as the frame also. I just bolted on nice, new black ones last night! Buckle guard is perfect! Looks great. Thanks much. Putting it on after lunch. Glitch- maybe a photoshop is in order here?!?! Can you make the chin fairing pieces (all 3) the same color as the frame? Thank you "O King O the Photoshop"!!!   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 01:06 pm:        No prob Odie, e-mail me full sized pics and I'll get on it, pics posted to the BadWeB are too small to work with.   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 01:08 pm:        B_S, the "Evolution of Man" is KILLER! That's probably what I would have done too!   Black_sunshine Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 01:10 pm:        Rob Zombie is featured in this months Men's Health. Zombie's Zen: 1. Anger is all about management. You choose to manage it or you don't. 2. Embrace strange obsessions. Today's weirdo is tomorrow's mogul. 3. It's nice to be important. It's more important to be nice. 4. If you get too comfortable, you loose your edge. A little pain keeps you striving.   Drift Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 01:19 pm:        Just put the traxxion grips on my bike. Man those are awesome!! The left one was a pain in the A$$ though. Had to sand the bar on that side to get it smooth of the rubber. It's not coming off on its own though. I took the 3rd eye mirrors off and the bike looks so much better without them, but it is a pain turning around to see all the time. I'm gonna get a cateye and put it on. Do you guys like yours? Well, I was 1 whole quart low on oil when I topped it off. I hope it was just a service mistake from the dealer. The oil light had never came on so I'm sure it is fine. I'll keep an eye on it. It doesn't leak and I am sure it has not burned a quart in 1000 miles. Glitch-are you still running the race ecm with the TFI unit? I am considering taking my TFI off and just running the race ECM. Just curious... New 12r-would you be willing to help me out with a header swap like you are with B-S. I feel confident that I can do it, but you have done it before from what I understand and there is no substitute for experience. Besides, I drink alot when I am wrenching so I might F it up anyway.   Odie Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 01:42 pm:        Drift, I like my Cat Eyes. Glitch-pics enroute...Thanks!   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 01:55 pm:        2. Embrace strange obsessions. I've always felt this way. Glitch-are you still running the race ecm with the TFI unit? No, I felt it wasn't worth the trouble, the ONLY time you're running lean is from idle to a little over 3000, and it's not that lean. 16 or 17:1 if I remember correctly. You'll notice more popping on decel, no biggie, and all you have to do is get a new air box (if yours is cut) to run a little less lean, but then you have a small torque hole at about 32 or 3400.   New12r Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 01:55 pm:        Drift, I sure can help, so long as you provide beer and humor.   Kdan Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 02:18 pm:        so long as you provide beer and humor. We'll bring the beer, you bring BUELL666   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 02:42 pm:        OK, Odie's bike with bottom fairing same (as close as I could get) color as the frame. And while I was doing that, I wondered what a jet coated header would look like, so...   Glitch Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 02:45 pm:        Wuddayathink?   Odie Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 02:46 pm:        Nice!! I think the fairing may go grey! Someday I'l Jet Hot the header but finding a 12 spare is almost impossible. Thanks Glitch! You're so talented with 'puters and such!   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 03:09 pm:        I like the contrast of the bright polished headers with the otherwise dark and brooding bike. They tie in with the polished rim trim as well.   Reepicheep Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 03:12 pm:        Actually, now that I look at the originals, what would REALLY be cool would be some tinted clearcoat that would make the exposed wheel metal look the same sort of "heated stainless" that looks so good on that header. Kind of a "every bit of this bike is built for business" type look. Can you do that Glitch? Preferably on my bigger versions of those pics over in the pictures section   Braveangel Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 03:14 pm:        Hey all who's all going to the V tonight. New12r might be bringing me. Hope to see all of you guys tonight.   Black_sunshine Posted on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 03:23 pm:        odie....that looks hot with the header and faring work....Do it, Man!!!
