I should be good for the first. I've got some tires to change and probably a few other farkles that could be ordered before then.

[mattc]

If I'm not working I'll be there to hang out.

[Juice]

I got a set of TKC's to mount on the strom and a set of 12's to mount on badgers sumo. What we cooking?

[mcinfantry]

[mcinfantry]

[Zeek]

I may have to stop by and see what this is all about.

i need new tires on the 250, but i cant ride it out there with the kiddo.

[mcinfantry]

i have kids too. swing by. bring your rims and tires.....

[Ritten]

I've got a Marc Parnes static balancer that I'll bring with me. I've got some weights too, but as expensive as they are I'd recommend people to order and bring their own.

[mcinfantry]

[Timo]

Keep in mind this is only the clean side where we do motorcycle or electric and such.. The other side is much bigger and has a 2 post lift and tire machine and such...

Take the wheels off an put them in the trunk. We'll change them out for ya!

[Juice]

Ted, where can i order the wheel weights from?

[Ritten]

I like the motion pro weights and order them from the same place I order my tires.

American Moto Tire (http://americanmototire.com)

[Swampy]

Juice... Cycle gear prolly has weights..

I know you must know someone over there ........:respect::respect:

[I_FLY_LOW]

I bought some of the regular stick on kind of wheel weights from Rads, when I started doing my own tire changes...
They were reluctant to sell them to me, as were they, the spoons...
I didn't think quick enough to refuse them at the time, and go to the hobby shop, and buy the same exact thing for a fraction of the cost...
The only difference is, the ones from the hobby shop, actually have the amount of weight stamped into the lead, between the cutting indexes...
I have the original ones still on the Bandit, from the first time I changed the tires... They stick well...
You're more than welcome to some of mine, if you need them, I have plenty...

[snipe-br]

Kenny has my No Mar but it sounds like you guys have the tire changer covered. He might be worth bothering about it though.

[Swampy]

It looks like this one ...

I dont have a picture of the actual one.. But Its close..


We have been looking for a spin balancer but cant find a good enough deal on one... There was one listed on Craigslist but the idiot selling it wouldnt return my emails..

[Juice]

If you don't mind i need a few. You coming to the Tech Day Phil?

[mcinfantry]

lol, thats my place. thats only 400sf. the 1200 s.f part has a lathe, tire machine, 2 post lift, welders, etc.......

ill put up some good pics one day.

[I_FLY_LOW]

I was thinking about going and doing what I can to lend a hand...

I can bring the weights with me to work, and catch up with you beforehand, in the event I'm not there, so you'll have em.

I'd need a tech weekend or two to fix all my ills... lol...
Maybe I could trailer the 929 there, and exorcise some of it's demons... hmm... this could work out good...

[mcinfantry]

[I_FLY_LOW]

I believe I'm going to make this!
I may bring the 929, and if nothing else, I can lend a hand where needed...
Do you need me to bring anything with tools wise? food / drink wise?
