    Nice work, John! Can't wait to see what you do with the XS. The 650's are awesome motors and there is a ton of support for them. Lots of guys build "bobbers", cafe's, or trackers out of them. You can even buy ready-built race motors for them. My project once the garage is ready will be an old...

    Edmonton Meet ups & local info

    That's super-nice of you, John! I'm lucky enough to be able to use the machines at work on days off when I need to, but I'd love to come by and see your set-up sometime. Maybe when Stephan needs to machine something we can all meet up for a coffee. Cheers! -Eric

    Awesome work, Kris!! This is very cool, I bet the customer is thrilled. Did you cut the steel with that protective plastic on? If so how bad were the fumes? Sent from my B15 using Tapatalk

    Reverse Engineered

    I was going to mention the same ideas as @Rick Runciman I do nothing but threads at work, and I use aluminum shims a lot. The other thing you could look at is making yourself a set of soft-jaws for your chuck, but as Rick said, I would probably just machine the other side first. What kind of...

    Hey Chris! Sounds like you're off to the races. Building bike frames is awesome, I built a steel hardtail years ago and it didn't break doing road-gaps! (Though sometimes I did) Looking forward to seeing your setup and what you make -Eric
