thanks Jbernard....the black still has a very awesome trick look to it!

-Engine cases are back from vapor blasting and they look AMAZING. Like brand new.
If anyone wants them done right, and no glass or sand pitted in their metal check out this guy:
http://www.vaporblasting.biz/
Pretty cheap too. I think mine was 30$ per case half.

Thank you for this - I needed this source!
Cheers!

No doubt about it.
I need a vapor blaster...

[jBernard]

i asked the guy about it, and he said it was around 20k for a vapor blasting setup. says he's not making much money off it at all. as good of a job as it does you'd think there would be more people with them, only found a few and most of them were in the UK.

[Foxx4Beaver]

$20K??...d**n, that's a hefty price if one was to use it only on personal stuff...otherwise hopefully one would have a decent list of clientele lined up to have stuff done before-hand.

Across the pond in the US there are much cheaper setups available especially if you need a smaller cabinet size.
I'm not looking to provide a service for others based on the prices that I have seen.
I'm looking to improve the quality of some of the products I sell.
Not to mention, I'd like it for my personal use 
After all if you see 20 of the same parts for sale from 20 different sellers, which do you buy from?
Cheapest?
Best warranty?
Best feedback?
Best looking?
Each category is important..
Sorry for hijacking your thread...

This is probably the best AF conversion I've ever seen...

[jBernard]

^ thank you! those are very kind remarks. Hoping to have this thing start looking like an mx bike and NOT a table full of parts here within the month tops.

HI guy!
The position is the same as the original pusher. (mechanical).
In fact you must extend the rod. I leave you an email tomorrow or during the end of week.

an other guy who's do that

[jBernard]

i have a few tricks up my sleeve here shortly. Hopefully we all know what this is a profile of

You printing a clutchcover?

[jBernard]

machining a complete side cover with removable clutch cover. also getting rid of the water pump and governor.

[Dutch-K5 Fan]

Why no waterpump??

Dutch

[jBernard]

going to try to go with a micro electric one and see how much parasitic loss i can save off the crank driven one, will free up some space on the side and also can route the water flow differently so no 'dent' in pipe. problem now is i dont know how much the stocker flows (LPM wise). ive got a flow meter and going to hook it up to a data logging device on my ktm 250sx to see what a 250 pushes at idle and wide open and then adjust accordingly.

[jBernard]

and governor (kips) will be servo based like a CR, but will be driving a servo motor from Arduino electronics thats taking rpm from a hall effect sensor on the flywheel.
this will be able to let me adjust KIPS on the fly digitally and also plot the curve at how it opens.
