Btw what is the bracket for from dez?

Dezsled · « **Reply #251 on:** June 19, 2013, 06:33:06 pm »

The bracket is for an led light mount

I received donations from 3 members here to purchase the light for testing. For their help I made up some light brackets (wish they would have turned out better, next ones will be nicer) to repay the donors for giving me the light. Thanks again buck, westtexasking, quadman8

I put the bracket on the polish wheel tonight fixed some cracks in my plastics too pictures below. Also ordered the intake tube and outlet tube for my airbox. Pictures of my diamond plate coming as well.

These cracks were repaired with MA300 they still need ground down and sanded. The hood is getting painted and there were more spots fixed on it than just this one spot.

Yeah now I'm nervous I'm gonna screw up the engine reassembly since its been like 4 months since I took it apart! Motoman might be coming to the shop tomorrow night to give me a hand if not ill just stick to the manual and not rush it.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #258 on:** June 20, 2013, 05:12:39 pm »

I'm just thankful it's on it's way. Tiffany really screwed Matt over bad and he's in a rough spot but he's doing his best to fix her messes and put out the fires she started.

Chrisr · « **Reply #259 on:** June 20, 2013, 05:21:09 pm »

Glad your parts are on the way. Hate it for Matt.....a woman can really screw things up.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #260 on:** June 20, 2013, 05:23:36 pm »

Yeah it sucks I've been in his shoes but not to the extent that he's dealing with since I didn't work with my ex. BTW got those hubs today too thanks again for the smooth transaction Chrisr!

JayTater · « **Reply #261 on:** June 20, 2013, 07:03:53 pm »

He's in a really bad place right now.. Most of us have been in his shoes. She tried to get his entire business shutt down, and nearly succeeded.

I'm happy that he finally got your stuff out Derrick, good luck on the re-assemble!!

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #262 on:** June 20, 2013, 07:11:35 pm »

Thanks Jay I'm so excited I almost just wanna call in sick to work tomorrow!! Lol can't rush though gotta find a leak down tester to check everything once I'm reassembled and I need to get my jets from the local atv shop that stocks mikuni jets for the tm38. Gotta get my airbox welded up.

Work just gets in the way of the more important things in life...

LT250RWV · « **Reply #264 on:** June 20, 2013, 08:49:06 pm »

Glad your parts are coming.Did you find out what level of oactange to use with your setup.

Motoman991 · « **Reply #265 on:** June 21, 2013, 08:12:27 am »

I will be able to stop over whenever on Saturday to help. I probably won't be able to today because I've got a date after work. I might be able to late depending on how long you work on it.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #266 on:** June 21, 2013, 09:07:28 am »

Saturday is booked for the family to Coney Island my only day off work. I'll be at the shop Saturday night and likely the wee hours of the morning tonight as well.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #267 on:** June 24, 2013, 09:33:57 am »

Well no progress other than I recieved some of my parts Saturday. I recieved a head but its not mine and is missing the vent screw and gasket from the top of it. I recieved no o rings no 99rm wrist pin bearing and no billet thrust washers all of these things I paid for. No word on where my head is or if anything was done to it. Can't tell on the head I recieved if its squish corrected or not. Port work looks good carb was bored nicely cylinder was bored to 87.5mm. Pictured below is the head I sent followed by the head I recieved.

Take a picture of dome. Should be able to tell you if the dome has been changed.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #269 on:** June 24, 2013, 09:43:48 am »

Will when I get to the shop after work

Dezsled · « **Reply #270 on:** June 24, 2013, 11:14:01 am »

Man I was hoping to see pics of your freshly machined parts...

I'm pulling for ya buck as I'm sure others here feel the same!

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #271 on:** June 24, 2013, 12:15:55 pm »

I'll post pictures of my cylinder and carb tonight Dez sorry to disappoint I was very discouraged to say the least after opening what I thought was my top end to find I needed to order more parts I already paid for and that I got someone else's beat up poor shape head instead of mine which was in really good shape.

Buckeye513 · « **Reply #272 on:** June 24, 2013, 12:22:33 pm »

The bad news about my parts and package is Matt packed the box then it was in Tiffany's possession and was opened when he got it back from her. My gut is telling me she jacked with the contents.

oh hell...... lets hope everything gets squared off..

Chrisr · « **Reply #274 on:** June 24, 2013, 12:31:42 pm »

Geez man that sucks. If it was opened when Matt got it from her chances are she took things out to try and screw with him even more......what a sorry ass. Hearing crap like that makes me even more glad to be happily divorced.
