Just got it back from the machine shop, welded up nice and milled down, then finished it up with a sandblaster. almost looks like one solid bracket
check it..

mines not for sale, lol. I spent some time gettin it just perfect, its not really all that hard just got to take some time with the grinding and getting it down just right. my buddy welded mine up for $45, but he actually charged more but he always cuts me a great deal and if you was to seen this in front of you, you'd think i bought it like this. Very nice weld job, and i've only got about $62 in the whole thing, so thats not bad :YEAH

lol, for sure! I got it all bolted back up everything looks good, ready to go, ordered a new brake line yesterday. Just got to look for a decent master now. But I am gettin closer and closer to gettin shit back together. This will be the first summer to finally rock out with a Hb, i can't wait

Shawn_PBZ · 04-12-2006, 07:49 PM

so much for the fancy god d*m bracket i had done up
worked the new brake for less than 5 min and she snapped off, f*ck the dual caliper i'm ordering a kit and using the stock. I'm glad i wasn't rockin out down the highway or something. i am so f*cking pissed off, nothing i ever do can go right for me, its like everything i touch i think i did right.....i think i break more shit than fix anything

KROHNSTUNTS · 04-12-2006, 09:15 PM

why doesent anyone use steel for the brackets?

Kyle_PBZ · 04-12-2006, 09:28 PM

You need a new welder! That shit has no penetration. I could have globbed some weld on that good. You know mine was built the same way and I never had any problems.

Shawn_PBZ · 04-12-2006, 10:42 PM

i thought they did awesome on the weld job, sucks it broke....kyle i seen you use the h*ll out of yours and its strong as f*ck, i'm startin to get down on my luck cause i've had nothing but problems with this bike since day 1. i should just get an F4I and get my sh*t together lol

Kyle_PBZ · 04-12-2006, 10:44 PM

Nah, keep the kaw. No need to start over again! You'll get it lined out.

Shawn_PBZ · 04-12-2006, 10:45 PM

can someone just make me a solid bracket, lol

MikeM · 04-12-2006, 11:19 PM

Why dont you try out the single caliper method? Send your lower master cylinder to JohnnyP to get the fitting welded, payal him $40 and its as good as the full throttle unit.

LEASNIT · 04-12-2006, 11:23 PM

is that casted? did it break on the weld?

NINER · 04-12-2006, 11:46 PM

Well, it LOOKED nice.

420gsxr1000 · 04-13-2006, 12:31 AM

Cast Al sucks to weld. too much porosity.

It is cast then? No wonder it broke ... have it milled outta some 6061 .. it'll be bulletproof....

Shawn_PBZ · 04-13-2006, 09:49 AM

ya, i wish i had spent more time and just made the whole thing out of one piece. I'm just going to get the fittings i need and run it with one caliper
