I can't believe I just wasted my time replying to this, but here it goes
I think its funny how I got a little attention over my Jardine mod and all the sudden here comes Baja with his "teaser pics" Its like its killing him that someone might be stealing his thunder.
Do you live in some alternate universe or something?
You putting 5 dollars worth of stainless on the tip of a Jardine muffler did NOT cause me to build ANOTHER stainless muffler, I've built a few last year before you ever came around. Nor was I afraid of you stealing my "thunder"...there's a few of us who build mufflers, 2 of us build real mufflers, and ones a cut and gut, we all do different things, you're not competition.
Bomber also scared away a newcomer from my work with his negative comments.
I told the guy to run away because you're a hack and he seemed new who didn't know any better.
Then Baja comments on my seat saying it would be uncomfortable after a 1000 miles blah blah blah. Meanwhile, His bike has a steel bench that would only be comfortable if you have a sqauare ass!
I mentioned your seat would feel fine at first then you'd get over it because you don't have enough padding. I've BEEN there DONE that. Just because I have a piece of foam for a seat pad (like most race bikes and since my bike is half replicated from an old cafe style race bike) doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't have a square ass, but my seat was never designed for traveling cross country, it's a short trip bike, I can do a 2-3 hour trip before needing a break and you'll have a sore ass at the end of the day.
The airbox is cool looking. The key word is looking.
Hot damn, you got something right finally, the body work is obviously for looks, scoops ability to draw in cool air is negligible. Did you engineer your silicone'd and finish bondo'd in scoops? Doubt it.
Also, his exhaust is not engineered. How will it really perform??? That's why I modded an existing pipe to keep the Buell race theme alive.
Engineering doesn't make something like a muffler flow or sound a certain way to a normal person(real company...maybe some flow programs on a puter), trial and error is the way to go. This is why companies have R&D departments, that is research and development if you didn't know. And a Jardine is not "Buell Race" at all, you put a tip on a muffler, you did nothing to affect its performance.
He can weld and fabricate but it takes him forever
I have this thing called a job, I can't sit at home all day like you doing your "mods". And doing real fabrication work takes a good amount of time and the homework before/during and testing after all take time. I can't just spit a complete bike out in a weeks time with the small budget I have for toys.
like the axe back wing??? wtf
Do you mean the cardboard wing I taped on my bike? You're bitching about something that never got past carboard and tape part of the build?
then he goes on about how he is not build a theme bike.
It is a theme bike, but a modest one at that, and it shows. Considering there is nothing airplane related (yet)on the bike besides aluminum body work, and only some USAF logo's and pinup girls will be put on.
Its ok to be a O.C.C. wanna be.
Yes, everything about my build screams OCC
On to what really matters. I am staying out of the drama and am only communicating with the mature few on this forum. Stay out of my thread I will stay out of yours.
Well that sucks, you're on a forum, and no one listens to you or your demands.
