Author Message   Ratbuell Posted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 - 09:33 pm:        OK, just found out I can have time off to ride to Daytona for the races. I hate to eat up a 616 on the slab. I have a "spare" ContiMotion that I can throw on my spare wheel...but need a rotor and pulley. Anybody have some available cheap? Cosmetics don't mean squat to me long as they work. Bike's an 06 Uly, so I need a what...04-up pulley for the belt to match?   Nillaice Posted on Thursday, February 10, 2011 - 10:10 pm:        i got your rotor. could use some time in a vice to make it straight and true again. but i ran it for a year with the pulsing rear brake pedal. fitting for a rat-rod. you said cheap right?   Ratbuell Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 01:26 am:        Hm...my warped front rotor is bad enough, I don't need to add a rear. Plan is to rack up about 1k before leaving so I can perform a service, swap my clutch cable to stop the leak, install my new front rotor with Erik Buell Racing hardware...and hopefully swap rear wheels. I'd rather not go warped on the rotor...but if I don't find anything else I'll keep you in mind. Thanks   Nillaice Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 07:33 am:        honesty. sometimes it kinda sucks when i say it   Ratbuell Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 09:15 am:        what do you mean? I'm not upset or anything...and I hope you're not offended. Lord knows I do things on the cheap a lot of times. Like my $450 Jeep right now. 221k miles, needs a #1 piston. So...I'm going to drop the pan, pull the #1 rod cap, pull the piston and rod, re-ring a used piston I have in the garage, hone the bore, put ONE piston in, button it up, and probably drive it for another 100k. Is it "right"? Nope. But for a $450 jeep it'll do just fine what do you want for it? If nothing else, it could be good stress relief LOL.   Nillaice Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 11:59 am:        i'm not offended in the slightest. right now i'm trying to part out a blast, and am giving brutally honest descriptions of the pictured parts. it does not make for an appealing description, but i don't wanna lie to folks about it and then not deliver as promised   Ratbuell Posted on Saturday, February 12, 2011 - 03:15 pm:        OH, I know all about that. I do the ebay sales for work. Ever see the Mythbusters where they polish a turd? LOL Underpromise, overdeliver.
