Hey got some stuff to send you.

I was wondering though, how does mirror black hold up compared to a normal gloss black?
And could you put any kind of silver sparkle in the mirror black? Have any pictures of something like this?

This is what I was thinking

Mirror Black w/ Silver sparkle?
Frame / Subframe
Engine mounts
Lower A-arms

10ft Chrome:
Upper A-arms

Molycoat:
Front + Rear Sprokets

LMK, thanks

[Pappy]

mirror black and gloss black have the same impact ratings so there should not be any difference in durability by the numbers, and i have noticed no difference

for black with flake, i would use a silver or gold flake clear over black

Mirror Black w/ Silver sparkle?
Frame / Subframe $190
Engine mounts $25
Lower A-arms $35

10ft Chrome:
Upper A-arms $30

Molycoat:
Front + Rear Sprokets $10 front $15 rear

[d3ktrix]

Sounds good, Mirror black with silver flake clear it is.

Also forgot to list my nerfs

Mirror Black (no flake)
Rath Nerfs w/ Heel Guards

I plan on starting tear down in a week or two, I'll let you know when the parts are on the way.

Thanks
John

nerfs with heel gaurds $55

[d3ktrix]

Everything is all torn down and ready to ship out to you.

The only hang up is that 1 of the mounts on the nerf bars that holds the net snapped off while I was trying to bend it back in shape (got smashed up by a rock).

If I call Rath and can get a replacement mount, can you weld it back on?
I'll grind the old welds off and everything so you have a clean surface to work with.

I'll post a picture of it.

[Pappy]

I dont weld aluminum, but it shouldnt be an issue getting it fixed locally here now that my aluminum guy is back

Aight koo, let me know how much I owe ya for that. I might just have Rath ship the mount directly to you so I can ship this stuff out sooner. That ok?

Heres the pic of it:
That flat black PC rath used really blew off easy from riding :P

Paying by Paypal, you want the payment the day I ship everything out or when you get it, how do you prefer it?

[Pappy]

Rath can send it direct, thats more then fine.

I will charge you exactly what i am charged for the nerf repair, I cant imagine it being much

Is this frame getting gusseting or just a look over? (I fix any cracks for free)

Payment is your call, the wife says I need to fill the check book because I have so much tied up in powder and gusset kits for the season, but I am fine with what ever works best for you:p

Alright I'll call Rath tomorrow.

Just a look over/fix on the frame.

I'll send payment the day I ship the stuff out so theres no delay when you get it.
Hopefully it will ship tomorrow or the day after.

Your turn around time more then normal because it rebuild season or things still flowing?

[Pappy]

everything was flowing good until last week when the powder company sent my big order somewhere else:chinese: lol

[d3ktrix]

Ok 3 nerf tabs are on the way to you directly from Rath.

I was only going to replace the 1 that totally snapped off, but I figured I might as well replace the other 2 that are bent up before they get coated and you have a guy that can do it.
I'll mark the other 2 that need to be replaced.
Bill me accordingly.

Packaging up the other stuff now to ship out.

Thanks!

[d3ktrix]

Tracking number says the package is out for delivery, so you should have it some time today. (Requires a signature)

Let me know if the box survived :P
Thanks!

[Pappy]

UPS just came but no frame or parts, if it doesnt come today dont be worried, the snow has these delivery drivers stuck everywhere and they have been calling to tell me they may or may not be able to get to my place for a day or so.

[d3ktrix]

Its coming Fedex.
Ya I figured the snow might slow things down.


Hows your back doing?

[Pappy]

i think its getting better, but it still hurts enough to make me tear up when i try to get up:ermm:

fed ex usually doesnt come here until 4pm or so. i am getting ready to head to the strippers to see if they have some stuff done so i can try and get back to work over the weekend. i can coat some small stuff and cody can load the oven for me but frames may take a few more days unless i can get my brother over here to load them on the rack. oh well, it will all work out, it will just take a few more days:p

[d3ktrix]

Whoa they actually did a Saturday delivery for a ground package. Must of been because of the snow delay.

Did everything make it there ok? I was worried about that pos thin box and the crappy packaging job. lol

[d3ktrix]

Also I wanted to let you know, please do not get any PC inside the tubes of the nerfs if you can. They already SUPER SUPER hard to get on and off, PC in there would only make it worse. Thanks!

Ya Rath makes these things really tight tolerance. I can hammer them on and ride them with no bolts at all and they won't budge even the slightest bit. The Pro Armors used to flop all over the place. lol

You got my stuff all in 1 piece tho right? or haven't been to the shop?

[Pappy]

yep everything arrived fine and is all loaded ready to head off for stripping

[d3ktrix]

Nice, thank god that box held up.

As soon as you shoot me a total price I'll paypal you.

Any sign of the Rath nerf mounts?

[d3ktrix]

You got the parts from Rath right?
Know which mounts to replace?

[Pappy]

yep the new mounts came. i dropped them off to be stripped, then i will take them to be repaired. i saw a few that were tweaked so i think i can figure out which ones get replaced etc.

[d3ktrix]

Great, Thanks

[Pappy]

knocked out the sub frame

[Pappy]

and the frame

[Pappy]

its hard to get the metal flake to show in pics with flash, but they are there:p

[d3ktrix]

VERY nice, loving the flake.

How was the frame? Many cracks?

Thx for the update.

[Pappy]

none that i could find. ride harder..lmao!!!!

your nerfs should have been repaired this afternoon, i was supposed to get back over there to pick them up but ended up working till about 15 minutes ago. by this weekend, i will have you completed.

[d3ktrix]

Sounds good, thanks

Surprised it didn't have any cracks, it's taken so many hits at the track I thought would fold it in half.

[Pappy]

the bottom of the frame wasnt even bashed in, i think your good to go!

[d3ktrix]

lol sure u got the right frame? My frame had a big dent/gouge in the plate where the a-arms mount. And a gouge in 1 of lower frame rails.

Or is that nothing compared to what u've seen? lol

[Pappy]

lol...its a peach compared to some. ive seen the main lower tubes egg shaped, the center support damn near touching and more cracks the courtney love shows when a camera is present:p

[Pappy]

lowers

[d3ktrix]

nice

[Pappy]

ok chief, all done.

How much for a 400ex frame gusseted, powder coated black, swingarm trans red and a-arms lowers trans red, with crome or silver uppers?

[Pappy]

frame $175
swinger $65
arms $65 for the set

[d3ktrix]

Aight koo, whats my total? And your paypal email. Paypal ready.

alright awesome. By any chance would you know how much it would be to ship all that from 34609?

[d3ktrix]

Got ur PM, Payment sent, Thanks!

When do you plan to have it shipped?
Did the fake chrome on the upper A-Arms come out good?

[Pappy]

yep they looked fine. i was rolling through parts and we just started packaging so we wouldnt get jobs mixed up (i had 14 450r's here over the past week, complete builds so alot of the same parts etc)

[Pappy]

John, your paypal did not include an address, everything is ready to roll once I get your full shipping addy!

great, thanks

DHL# 25209325352

DHL# 25209269750

[d3ktrix]

Got it all today, coating looks great!
I'm guna be blinding people with the silver flake lol
Top a-arms look way better then I expected too, very nice looking silver. I might have to get my valve cover and clutch cover done that color.

There was some minor shipping damage on the front of the frame and the sub frame mount was tweaked.
Nothing that matters really, can bend it back with a rag and channel locks.
Just wana let ya know for future packaging. And I thought u had it packed really good, apparently DHL had there way with it though :P


You only replaced 1 of the nerf mount tabs?

[Pappy]

I switched to fed ex today after watching the dhl guy damn near throw a frame in his truck:grr: they have to roll them or drop them to hurt them is what gets me:ermm: i dont think you could package it much better:(

you send the other parts, ill hook you up seeing they dinged it up.

not sure how many tabs were replaced, they were done and blasted when i got them...i will check however

[d3ktrix]

Any chance u found those tabs? I'd like em for future use. I'm sure I'll smash some more off soon enough lol.

Bikes almost done, I'll put pix up soon.
Thanks again

[Pappy]

yep, matter of fact i picked them up a few days ago when i was picking up from there.


how close are you to being done now?

[d3ktrix]

Just need to bolt the hood on and waiting for my NOSS adapter to put the FCR and air box on and it'll be ready to go.

If u want, u can send the tabs back in Allstocks or mx1791 orders. They are both live near me. Save you on shipping =)

[Pappy]

will do!

[d3ktrix]

I wasn't going to do the clutch or valve cover but now that it's all together, I'm thinking it would complete the look better if they were a different color.

What do u think would look good on them? Maybe a black but thinking theres a lot of black already.

Crappy pic, will have better ones later outside when the weathers better.

[d3ktrix]

.

[Pappy]

black would be ok, a bright silver would work. Orange (its 5 am so if its not orange my eyes arent working or the color from your pic is off:p ) would be ok as well.

[d3ktrix]

lol ya its orange, the pictures are just horrible in the garage.

[d3ktrix]

Heres the better pictures of the build I promised.
