Thanks again Ken


PS: any update on Kevin's progress with the Steering Stem?

[Pappy]

Sorry I havent posted sooner jeff, with teh site issues its been hard:p


I will ask kevin of his progress tomorrow, the small parts are stripped as of tonight and awaiting color.

[Pappy]

Jeff, Kevin said you owe him a drink at BPG....WHEN he is finally able to get the stem out! Not sure what you tweaked when you had your wreck but she is stuck in there and good

WOW i had no idea this would be such a problem haha, what i dont get is that it will turn freely but just wont back out. IF worse comes to worse bring out the hack-saw, i am pretty sure i have another stem around here somewhere. But i'd rather not take that route if possible

[Pappy]

not sure if kevin went back at today or not, i know his wife had her wisdom teeth removed so he has been head baby sitter today.

i know he said he thinks the stem plate and stem have crossed splines (no doubt caused by the wreck) but he hasnt told me much past that

[coolguy8769]

what would'v caused that? my only guess would be that both tie-rods pushed against each other when i cased and pushed the plate up. but i have no idea cause you would think the tie-rods would'v bent if that happened

[Pappy]

ive seen a few stem splines get jacked up when a quad goes flipping:p I figured yours may just be siezed from corrosion but that doesnt seem to be the case. and yes, you would assume for the splines to get tweaked so bad that it wont allow the stem plate to seperate from teh stem that you indeed would have tweaked the tie rods:p

[coolguy8769]

any update?

[Pappy]

Kevin just called and said he finally got them apart. No damage was seen, just corroded together. When you reassemle them, use some never sieze!

[coolguy8769]

haha will do!! so how long we looking at to get some color on the frame?

[Pappy]

As soon as New years is finally over, I am sure everything will return to normal and the strippers will step up the pace, so I am shooting for the end of next week

[Pappy]

Let it not be said I do not work the holidays:p

[coolguy8769]

haha AWSOME!! those look great, now i just cant wait for the frame

edit: on the "little" cover there was a rubber seal, do you know where i can get one of those or is it still on there?

yeah I hate my dealer too. I just figured it got burned up in the heating process....lol.

[Pappy]

better start thinking of a color for teh stem and swing arm also

[coolguy8769]

the swingarm was also gonna be white, was the stem in the $200 price? i thought we were just gonna leave the stem how it was or did it go to the stripper?

[Pappy]

it will head to stripping tomorrow, and id kind of like all the colors to match. i will have to look it over to see that it wasnt scuffed up fighting with kevin:D

[coolguy8769]

any chance they'll be done by sunday?

[Pappy]

Only if the stripper calls and says he has your frame stripped. I have yours and 5 others at one place, 7 or 8 at the burn off oven. Im at a standstill till they come back. You would think companies would keep in mind the holidays and try atleast to plan for them, but its like that in most businesses i geuss:ermm:

[coolguy8769]

any word?

[Pappy]

not a peep today, but i expect everything to rush in here tomorrow and wednesday just in time to make me work 24/7 right on through the weekend:p

I will knock yours out pretty quick seeing you will be picking it up etc, I will keep ya posted

[coolguy8769]

hate to keep askin ya but its almost the weekend...? lol

[Pappy]

i just dropped off more frames and yours is still sitting there:ermm: along with many others:p

he was supposed to blast today but from the looks of it he did not. i just got home and i see a few more have arrived so i will be back over there at daylight dropping them off. i am pretty confident that he will do them tomarrow and I will place a call to reaffirm the urgency needed to get them completed

[coolguy8769]

alright if you get it done early saturday i can come up that afternoon or early but i can come sunday

[Pappy]

i just went to the blasters and did your frame myself:p That will teach them to not work weekends:devil:

let me know when your coming and i iwll make sure its done

[coolguy8769]

haha


i can come up at around 4-5 today if its done?

[Pappy]

sounds fine

[Pappy]

all done

[Pappy]

I meant to tell you before you left, when you reinstall the stem and tie rod plate, coat the spilnes and shaft liberally with never sieze!

[coolguy8769]
