I snapped a real quick picture of it before I left to meet my wife for dinner and I showed it to her when I got there. She asked " and WHO'S it THAT?!" I said "mine..." and she replied "oh sh*t, that is our back yard isn't it?" I just lost it in pizza hut...
Obviously the swingarm has yet to materialize... I got the tubing in yesterday but took yesterday and today to work on the front suspension (which was also waiting on the 3/4" tubing) and the pipe mount. The pipe is in it's final configuration minus a small spring to hold the silencer into the adapter. That's a relatively trivial issue as it's a virtual press fit into the adapter anyway.
I'm now running dangerously low on argon....again! I'm going to have to get another cylinder at about $65 for the gas! ugh this welding thing is expensive....
I'm going to lay out the tubing for the wheelie bar and swingarm tomorrow afternoon, pictures of the setup as I work!
Freek, mail that cylinder bro! I'll still bring the exchange with me to busco but if I can get that cylinder all machined and ready to go before busco I might be bring that exchange and my dragger.
A special thanks to Neil, for helping me out with the welding setup (and for NOT knowing it all and letting me make my mistakes on my own), thanks to Mike for the times you stood there and let me bounce ideas back and forth, and Jeff for making sure every 2 minutes I know it's Mike's fault so I know who to go see about the problems I'm having! Also, thanks to mmajay for telling me if I didn't go look at this Tig outfit, he was going to ride out there and buy it for that price.
