Anyone own a machine shop

[Master LTR450]

I need a someone to machine me a spacer for my bike. I have all the dimensions just need it done. Im also going to need to exhaust brackets made in the future.

What size spacer are you looking for? Ive got a ton of misc spacers here.

Thank you
Justin

dimesions are

ID - 3/8
OD - 7/8
Length - 5/8

[jrspawn]

Closest i have is:

id=3/8
0d=7/8(on ends, middle is tapered)
length=3/4

The other thing is that both ends taper in towards the middle.

If it didnt taper i would take it and just grind it a little. does it taper right away or would i be able to grind a little on both sides and still have it hold its 7/8 od? post a pic if you could?

I dont think there's gonna be enough on each side the knock it down to the 5/8. Kind of close and it would be shy of 7/8od since the ends would be in the taper.

[jrspawn]

I have never charged shop rate to a fellow quad/dirtbike rider. I've never had a fellow quad/dirtbike rider to question my shop rate though. I don't know how I'd react if someone questioned my shop rate when wanting something done. I'd probably kindly tell them to find someone else.

To anyone reading, IT WAS A JOKE about the shop rate. In fact i spent most of my time helping others for free. But i guess that was wrong of me to make a joke? I thought i was being helpfull by seeing a post with someone needing something. Then going out to the shop after 1 in the morning, digging through bins and mesuring out spacers, taking pics, and then helping the guy out and sending him the spacer.

Again, it was a joke. Sorry for trying to help someone.

I knew it was a joke....most machinists are good guys and most of us have done our fair share of reduced or even free work. Heck, just last week I had $200 (shop rate) in a piece I made for an 80yr old man for a grand piano. I didn't have the heart to charge him but he begged me for a price...I said $10 bucks.


I guess it's a pet peeve but I hate to see people gripe about shop rate. That's not to say some shop rates aren't over the top....but most are pretty reasonable.

Hey whats up cnc guy, sorry if you took the post the wrong way. It wasnt directed towards you at all, more towards warnerade.

Thank you
