I'm having fun, what's up with you swooshdave?

I showed you the side stand failed, BFD. I've crashed on the foot struts
a bunch of times, bent and even tore off the foot peg posts [booger
to get bent treads out], had to pry ee out of primary and timing cases and
landed hard standing on them from head height impacts and they
are still good to go, just too heavy and bad placement for me
and Peel's comfort to re-use.
I'm glad I did it and got to feel the worth of it.

Footpegs aren't that big of a deal, I'm more concerned with the kickstarter. If that should snap during a downstroke, well, best case is having to push start the bike. Worse case would be the shaft embedded in one's leg.

This is not to dissuade you from your adventures, it's just that someone else reading this should know the consequences.
 
hehehe, ok a good wise warning alert then,
I'd sure hate to be a bad influence on innocent motorcyclers or builders.
Where were you when I went over board on the drill press.

Bigger holes needed bigger drilling tool. Once I figured out that
Supertrap was a heavy power stiffler I got rid of all but butt plate
and opened it up which opened up power to embarrass '04 600cc 4's.
I know I could of shot my eye out w/o goggles but lucked out again.
Oh yes deep kettle drums at idle but hot jets roar out 8-10" on blips.

Let's see. This thread started with a question about a hole in the front iso mount. It went to the "Dukes of Hazzard", and finished with a shotgun blast. Let's see someone beat that.

Snicker and smirk all ya like, I know how much faster each part
could slung by hand before and after and what the bucket of
swarf took to clean and carry out : )

Just curious (can't sleep no more!) where this part fits in your Norton?

Alrighty then, someone like me had an extra drill bit to use up
and hardly anywhere else to use it left but an untouched wholesome
factory front iso mount. End of story and fun subject line wandering.

:mrgreen: Dukes of Hazzard and shotguns kind of go hand in hand don't they? I guess add some burboun to the mix as well and we'll have a good ol' time.
 
Coco, I'm pure southerner, now in Ozarks Dixieland where the best
stuff is called Doe's Urine moonshine, though older farts like to
stain its clearness to Bourbon color by soaking with 100 yr old silver oak
from wagon spokes and barn sides, after toasting chips to carbonize.
Plus lots of places to get crazy off road or catch air like them Hazard
County boys and girls. If ya search "Booger county" Arkansas,
our Madison county will come up, but not why its earned its name
since before Linclon's War, which terrible tales still get told.

I'm inspired by that little front mount hole. Looks like maybe 5 of
em could fit ok. It could also be used to mount a marker for
witness marks of isolastic dance patterns.

The moral of this thread is:

When your up to your ass in alligators, it's hard to remember that the original idea was to drain the swamp.
