That is a very interesting way to not to build it. I understand why Rjacks approached his first build the way he did much better now. The way that is cut and re-welded at such a sever angle creates a very weak spot right where the crack appears. Flowing lines are not just for looks.rpeterson wrote:Here ya go!

Glen,
I am picking that bike up from TT Mike once he pulls your motor out.
Ill be sticking a fresh GSS motor on NO2 in her so she will live on here is a photo of the motor.
it looks like Ill be needing a pipe made in a few months for this

"the game of life of is not so much in holding a good hand as playing a poor hand well"There is NO WAY Mike would ever run a Service Honda frame and I know that you know why TT builds the best conversions on the fricken Planit Period. Youll never see shit like this comming from Team Trubble no mater how big he gets nuff said. but Ill be happy to take it off his hands and put it in my colection.

AJ has been surprizing quite about this thread....
I understand their is a learning curve to putting these things together.... and improvements have been made from the first bikes assembled, but to ignore the thread ... I dont understand that.
At one point, Team DNS asked the direct question of what Service Honda had for improvements for the 2009 version of the bike....
Again, no response.

They are going to start sending customers to TTM for a sound product hehe.. just wish i could make enough money to afford one of those TTM bikes they sure are sweeet!!
97 Steel 500 that wants to be an AFC
AJ's explanation:
well seems everything has been said by the time i noticed the thread.
yes it was an early 2000
my own bike like this , the first gen 2 ,was liklely built in august 1999.
the 00's were the first honda alum frame with a Y,. and
it needed to be modified for fitment.
i put a arched piece in there, to raise things enough for clearence.
i built my own bike ,tested for awhile and everything was fine,
then likley made perhaps 5 or 6 like this.
(obviously robbie got one of those early ones)
I had one fail ,, similar to robbies and
obviuosly started doing the frames completely differently.
every frame made in the other fashion was replaced for free..
and robbie was also offered this .. but opted not to.
many of those bikes had a year or more on them and guys ,
when they did have issues most would return them, and of course we would take care of it no matter how long they had the bike.
that design was not strong enough for long term.
its why ive advised here for years not to trim the "Y" but to relocate it completely in some fashion.
as far as the look of the Y piece,on those very early gen2's
while not pretty,
the only SH ,or AJ work ,you see in the photo-
is the barely visably arch -
99% of what you are looking at is stock honda welds and pieces/joinings.
Hondas yoke wasnt a really asthetically nice piece in 2000. It sjust how they were.
Am i proud of those few early gen 2's (2000)
absolutely not.they were not durable long term.
Where those early gen2's ridden and thought well of by riders like mcgrath and larocco,, yes.(and if i'm not mistaken RP here , won some huge races and perhaps a nat title on that bike?)
did i stand behind every one of them and make it right with my customer at no charge ?
definantly.
and I quickly changed the design ,
and with that new design, there are at least 400 or so gen2 Service Honda 500AF's out there.and 9 year slater doing just fine.
You may or may not like my work , or my bikes,
but i have always stood behind them,
and far better than any OEM out there.
I really don't mean to come off so defensive,
but i have put a decade of blood sweat and tears into these bikes...
i do care, am passionate about the sport and the bikes,
and for some issue i resolved, and corrected promptly 8 or 9 long years ago..
and went above and beyond for any customer.. ,,
it just seems a bit odd, to take a shot ,for that now..
hey,, it is the net though..
and I do really appreciate that most posters took this at face value,
and gave me the courtesy of the benefit of the doubt, and a chance to reply.
Seriously that is unusual on the net,
and shows that hoons are pretty dang good people..

I wish AJ had posted that himself, but thanks for clearing things up RP
AJ, Everyone understands that a bike like yours is allways in a state of upgrade, and it started with the very first one.
Issues arise, and are dealt with....
Dont be so shy about it ...
I didnt want to comment until AJ had time to do so, and his explanation is 110% valid , in my opinion.
