Re: Squid scrape and subcage
nope its tweeked but looks fixable! O boy LOL that is what a bar is for
when you put the bar on it makes the back of the sub extremely ridged. all i no is that must of been a good crease in the lot. as for the OMR subcage it will fit perfect and i dont offer folding pegs so OMR is were you wana go for that. it might even help straiten out the subframe a bit. and when you put on the 12 bar use clamps or what ever you have to to put it on straight it will also help straiten out the sub. i would like to see some pics from the side and top in the back of the subframe to see exactly were it moved.when you get the bar and take off the plastics to mount it send me some pics (atown1101@yahoo.com) i might be able to give you some incite on how to fix it. none the less this wont even have much effect on how the thing performs once the bar is on. i never designed the thing to get dragged without a bar but after i seen this i might have to add a little in some places

If there is a bad spot out there I will find it. No bullshit, like today was heading to the spot rolled a small stoppie. Took off and about a minute later the bike felt very wierd and didn't want to turn. Looked back and I have a flat. So I came back after fixing the sub and plug a tire. But yea the sub was an easy fix. I just loosened the rear left mount and used a rubber mallet to even it back out,, tightened it back down then tried to straighten out the middle support a little. Gravy baby!
Pics of the sub and the plugged tire, yeah it really happened.
Sub isn't perfect but it's better. Last edited by ~03~raven; Mar 24, 2010 at 07:19 PM.

Maybe a month ago tops I ordered it. **I remember I received it in a really cool treadmill box if that rings any bells. IDK, LOL.**

Re: Squid scrape and subcage
Yea, I guess it was a crash. I'm pretty good at that so far... It wasn't gangster, but it didn't just come up and over to the sub on accident and I bailed. Though I have done that before in the past. This would be my most mild crash as the bike never fell over or anything, almost but I caught it. Anyways eh whatever right, I guess if you aren't wrecking you aren't trying hard enough. Well for us new guys anyways.
Oh and just curious about this painting things the way I want. Does that mean i can use things like ketchup, pebbles, and birdseed to create those images?
Sorry I gotta be a smart-*** sometimes.
squidly, OMR. Thanks for the insight guys. I'll make my subcage decision tonight. Still not exactly sure how the stocker passenger peg bracket broke. It never touched the ground and was good when I started, after about 45 minutes all the sudden I noticed it felt like it was flexing. Are those easy to break just standing on them? I only weight about ~170. Maybe I weakened it last week when I pancaked it...? LOL Told ya I'm good at wrecking.
