My frame

[parkers30]

Just wanted to make sure everything had gotten worked out with the freight company for my frame? Sorry for the hassle but I can't complain when its free :p

Still trying to get off work early enough to my subframe out to you too :o

Parker Cline
various places mostly in Illinois
(217)474-6026

Gunmetal:
2004 YFZ Frame
Subframe (Cracked at the seat mount)
(2) subframe suppports

Steering stem bearing and lock nut were left in

Don't ship my parts back without asking for address.... not sure where I'll be living then. :o

[Pappy]

as far as i know bridget spoke with them but i havent seen it yet

[parkers30]

alright, I'll check on it tomorrow

The subframe was dropped off tonight

Do you have an better pictures of the Gunmetal grey? I can't find much of anything

[Pappy]

no i sure dont, but i will be doing mikes frame in that color when the powder arrives, ill get some pics

[mike nash]

Yeah, I can't wait to see the Gunmetal too.

haha, well your on deck. i had some here, but it was a wee bit old for me to want to trust so it went in the dumpster. by the end of the week your frame will be coated and i will try my best to get some close ups that show the color.

[mike nash]

Cool, thanks for getting new powder.Whats the shelf life on that stuff?

[Pappy]

if its kept in a climate controlled area, 6 month is about max

my garage stays between 40 and 70 most of the busy season, but in the summer i try and keep almost no powder on hand. infact, we had shipments delayed or overnighted this past summer due to the heat. im a very very small outfit so large quantitys are not needed.

[parkers30]

sounds good

working on getting the shipping company straightened out

[parkers30]

let me know if you don't hear from R+L by tomorrow, they had written down the wrong phone number

[parkers30]

looks like it got there today, atleast according to the shipping company it did, sorry for all the hassle :ermm:

subframe should be there tomorrow

[Pappy]

there was in the back of my truck, and bridget said it was a big box truck so im sure its yours

[parkers30]

wanted to make sure everything made it OK, considering all the fun this has been

you should have now:

frame and subframe
2 subframe supports

[Pappy]

yep, sub arrived friday i believe

[parkers30]

good to hear, can't wait to see pictures of Mikes frame

[Pappy]

yeah his powder came in friday also. ive just been doing batches of small parts and more prep work and need to get his foot peg area done so i can shoot it:p

right now, the major issue around here is that cody got a squirell and ryan didnt:scary: i think a nice noisy shop would be better then here at my desk:p

[parkers30]

uh OH, the great challenge of growing up with a brother, I am the middle of 3 boys, lets just say my older brother went though a few walls growing up. How many deer has the crew gotten this year?

Checking on my parts too! whenever your computer will let you. :devil: I know the feelin though

[Pappy]

trust me id like to take the 20 gauge to this damn thing.


cody killed 2, ryan killed 1 as far as the deer go. i only got 2 with my bow and 1 with my rifle, never even seen a buck worth shooting.


your frame and sub were sent to stripping today, so hopefully for x-mas i will have some pics up for you

[parkers30]

sounds good :D

were you able to do anything with the bumper mount? or are you going to worry about that after stripping?

[Pappy]

I usually try and do that stuff before stripping, but I have to get these rascals run through before the holiday so I will deal with it when it returns

[parkers30]

sweet can't wait, I'll quit bugging you now and let you enjoy the family and kill the computer :blah:

LOL..I deffinatley dont want to get that confused:p

[parkers30]

found the pic I was thinking of:

[mike nash]

I'm just guessing but I don't really think that pic does that color justice.

[parkers30]

Thats what I was thinking too, but its the best pic I have seen so far :ermm:
hopefully your frame changes that

[Pappy]

yeah that was my clutch cover. its a hard pic to get that actually shows what it looks like. the best description would be the old Z400 frame. It is kind of that color in range, but higher gloss and way more depth.

[parkers30]

Updated the first post for the new requirements..... :chinese:

[Pappy]

LOL, thank you!

[Pappy]

frame is back from stripping

[Pappy]

The mount has been rebuilt. You will just need to use a nut and bolt but its stronger then stock

stupid vine shot me right into that tree, PRM bumper saved my a-arms though

[Pappy]

I dprefer you used a nut and bolt. I can only rebuild the mounts so good, and the nut and bolt will allow some "fudge" factor room:p It will probably be the same size as the stock bolt, and about an 1inch long. If I have a set up I will include it with the frame

[parkers30]

thats fine, don't worry about the bolt.... would just make life a little easier taking it on and off

[parkers30]

don't think I ever mentioned anywhere in this tread tht I want it gusseted, I know I mentioned it in PM's but that was a while ago

[Pappy]

yep, i should have it all done tomorrow. would have been done today but quite honestly, i needed a day to veg out:p 5 am this morning i woke up and delivered a set of harley rims:eek2:

ive been waiting for a rainy day to just be a bum and today was that day:p

[parkers30]

thats fine, I'm in no hurry, going to Mexico late next week and moving to MI after that. If you just hang on to it until after the 1st

[Pappy]

frame is done

[Pappy]

I found a few other cracks that were repaired

[parkers30]

Looks great, were the subframe mounts cracked at all? are the other parts done too?

let me know what I owe you, and how you want paid. Thanks

[Pappy]

Id have to scratch my head and try and remeber, I did so many this weekend that they are all running together, one long crack...lol

I know one was near the left lower engine mount

all thats left is to get the subframe itself welded, and coated along with the 2 supports


payment is up to you, i can accept just about any form etc

[parkers30]

sweet, didn't expect you to bother with the crack in it being aluminum and all. Can't wait to get it back together, but Mexico and building a house for a poor family comes first :)

[Pappy]

no prob dude, and dont drink the water:blah:

let me know if you want me to hold the parts till your back etc.
