whats up brotha's, kool to hear from ya guys,so lets see here, wheelbender this head i know was invented by the manic mechanic although it does say pirate cycles on it, im not sure if they bought the rights and are now producing them cause i did see the mm has a new design out with large cooling fins, so i thank both the manic mechanic for designinging and producing them, and to pirate cycles for stayin on edge and keepin us hooked up with kool parts we all need, and if pirate is now making them, thats kool, power to them. its a kool head, but heres the wierd thing, i got my motor kit from boy goes fast, and the motor i just got has the highest compression ive ever seen of any of the stock heads, furthermore, it has higher compression than the billet head, but the billet one looks awesome and i just left it on the motor instead of swapping the stock one to see how that one works( inever ran the motor with stock head). i also had to put my cylinder in the lathe and take ten thousanths off cause it was out of round( china). seriously everyone needs to stop buying chinese product, even if u need it or its cheap or whatever the reason, just stop buying china bull cause the quality is crap. everything we have in america is china, sure its cheap, but quality is so cheap its useless practicly, and so we are losing jobs and quality product of any kind, so can we all just say **** china.im done after this motor, from now on, im done with china. u know whats funny though, the dyno i have, its a qaulty frame unlike the walmarts, but its made in china. i pulled a belt gaurd of a harley the other day, and it said china- wtf, have all us americans lost our damn minds!!!!? this all goes back to bill clinton for the most part, but even before that.ya know i could go on here all day, and itll just be a big war, and contaversy, whatever, we all just need to do our part
member that commercial for henry fire arms where he empties everything thats not made in usa from his house, and in the end all he has left in his house is his rifle-lol its like that. anyways desens and binut the diamonds are indeed actually leds( china) 4 bucks each on ebay, i have them powered by a chinese battery( 9 volt), work good. il;lini rider, hit me up lets ride, the chinese grips are billet aluminum, got em off ebay 20 bucks, and dmanshep the motor mounts are actually handlebar risers. they only work on 7'8" seatpoles( actually 1") and i only used em cause one pirat cycles never has the mounts in stock for 5'8" offset for the 3" tire, and also they are 30 bucks over 130 bucks, so they work good. it acts as a pivoting motor mount. manic mechanic made some for this bike in the past, but getting him to do anything for ya will take forever, and honestly i dont really think he wants to for whatever reason it may be. sometimes ya just have to improvise and get stuff done yourself. but anyways, the grade 8 bolt snapped off in the block the otherday( i feel like ghost riding this whole bike down the alley-lol), so as soon as i get that fixed, im adding some badass speakers with a 6" i tough on the bars, and i have awicked trailer im working on for this bike, ill post pics as it comes along
