Author Message   Odie Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 09:09 am:        Thanks all. I am impressed by the quality of a $100 expenditure. As he and I coat more stuff we learn more and we get better. Like yesterday, one lever took powder perfectly and the other wasn't?!?!? Turned out that we have coated the over rack with so much powder over time that there was a ground issue where that particular lever was hanging. Cleaned up the rack and everything was perfect. It is so cool to powder stuff and in about an hour bolt the parts back on to your bike or whatever. Beats paint by a mile. I highly recommend the kit. Check with used appliance places for a cheapo, used oven and you're done.   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 09:19 am:        Odie, I found out that there is a coating on the wheels (the rough part) that had to be stripped to get the powder to stick to the center part of Shred's wheel. I don't know how they went about stripping it though, blasted or chemical.   New12r Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 09:31 am:        I am cool with the Varsity, I will be there as long as you get off work on time. Keep me posted.   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 09:41 am:        New12r, I'll post if anything changes, as of now I'm outta here at 3:30. I decided not to get the Ghost Rider jacket, I found out from someone that had it, that it was like a parachute at speed. I ordered this one yesterday. Ought to have it by next week.   Hulley Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 11:12 am:        Glitch, I have that jacket, meteor 5.0, its a great jacket, actually pretty comfy!   Odie Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 11:39 am:        Glitch, the paint or whatever it was on the centers was VERY thick. Between chems and blasting I finally got it down to the bare metal but still could not get anything powder to stick to it....oh well. I'm happy with them the way they are now. I'm in the middle of putting all my new, powdered stuff on right now. Looking good......   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 11:51 am:        Hulley glad to hear it, you're the 5th person to say it was a good choice. I hate to retire my Teknic Lightning, but it's old and has seen better days. Not to mention the leather that's now missing. Odie, I can't wait to see how it all looks put together. Did you do the cam cover as well as the primary cover?   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 11:52 am:          Black_sunshine Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 12:09 pm:        Odie....you have mail.   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 12:14 pm:        My jacket just got delivered! I was told I would have to wait 1 or 2 days before they could even ship. Kudos to New Enough!   Blaster_s Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 12:17 pm:        Why, oh why didn't I ride today???   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 12:21 pm:        Why, oh why didn't I ride today? I did!   Odie Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 12:48 pm:        B_S- right back at'cha... Glitch- negative on the cam cover; not enough time right now. A few months from now I'll do it though. Problem is the manual says the heads need to come off to reinstall it. It's not THAT important for it to be black. I would like it to be though. Eventually........ Everything is looking good so far. I'm working on the primary cover now and then all I have to do is put the front end back together. Then take it all back apart when the new modules arrive.........I'll post a pic in a few hours when I'm done.....Later, Odie   Black_sunshine Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 12:49 pm:        If anyone is a Dukes of Hazzard fan like I am, CMT is having a DoH marathon all weekend starting with the 1st episode.   Black_sunshine Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 12:58 pm:        Odie....Yo, G, check your mail sack!   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 01:07 pm:        Odie, New12r and I were talking about how much you'd have to do to do the cam case. A lot of work for powder coating. We thought if we were to go that far we might as well get a set of hot cams and make it really worth while. Can't wait to see it. New12r, you done with that Shed yet, or did you and Shred head up to the mountains? B_S, Looks like there will be something on the tube if the weather turns bad. After I watch Faster again, I got the two disk set, man that's an awesome movie, and the extra disk is every bit as good as the movie.   New12r Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 03:00 pm:        Glitch, on my way to the varsity right now   Blaster_s Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 03:03 pm:        Valentino Rossi rules!!!!!!!!!!   Stealthxb Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 03:17 pm:        Glitch... Let's split a header wrap kit. I would like to git er dune by March Badness. Eastwood used to have a KIT...but for some reason it is not currently listed on their site.   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 03:29 pm:        Stealth, I'll check around here. Pep Boys, Auto Zone, NAPA, NOPI, someone local has got to have one on hand. If you want call around this afternoon. I will also after I get home. There's bound to be one in the Greater Atlanta Metro Area. Right now though I'm gonna get outta here!   M1a65 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 05:29 pm:        Travis, If Dave isn't up for the header wrap thing I am. Thats if your gonna pick up a 50' roll of the 2" white wrap. Thanks Frank   Odie Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 05:34 pm:        Guys, I get my wrap from Summit. 1" Black. It's the stuff I use for the binding around the Heat Barriers. Works good....   Odie Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 05:41 pm:        I think it turned out good. I'll post more tomorrow. Gotta go to work.....   Odie Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 05:43 pm:        One more....   Stealthxb Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 05:46 pm:        Frank...we are gonna go with black wraps. She looks beautiful Odie!!!   Stealthxb Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 05:47 pm:        All... Mother in law is en route from Florida. I am gonna need to get outta the house ALL weekend.   M1a65 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 05:51 pm:        Theres a speed shop off Old National, can't remember the name at the moment, that sells it by the roll. Figure Dave you'de want the black stuff to go with the rest of the bike, they have that as well. I'll do some checking myself.   M1a65 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 07:33 pm:        Thanks Odie, Summit is the shop. The powder coat job turned out sweet! No sweat Travis I'm sure they'll be someone to take the other half of the white roll.   Stealthxb Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 07:50 pm:        nice web content (they did this with GPS): http://www.sorbaathens.org/site/trails_conyers.php and if you have broadband try this: http://www.charliemaffitt.com/maps/wma_composite.jpg *file is big   Glitch Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 07:55 pm:        Odie, I'm jealous, that looks great. Stealth, I *think* I'm free this weekend, if you come this way I'm sure between all of us here in L'ville we can find something to do. All I can think of right now is baseball practice tomorrow at 11:30. Don't know what Shred is up to, he bugged out to be with his girl before I got a chance to talk to him. New12r? Just got my new Eastwood catalog. I'd like two of everything!
