yota we are waiting for an engineer to get back to us on the heat treating.yota wrote:are you doing any heat treating at completion?
another prob with heat treating will be the Australian compliance plate is a sticker which will melt when the heat treatment is done
but we got an engineer to check out what the difference in strength will be between treated and not treated...

That was my old frame, I talked to AJ about it and he came down and replaced it for me.AlisoBob wrote:Dont worry about it ...100hp honda wrote:

Chalk one up for AJ and S/H standing behind their work!!!!
I'm glad you got this one taken care of Scott. How does the replacement look?

Bob if i got a S/H and it turned up like that i more then likely would return the frame back in little piecesAlisoBob wrote:No shit!2strokes4ever wrote:Look out Service Honda.. Aussie Aussie Aussie beer beer beer
Can you imagine if some Aussie or Kiwi purchased a S/H, had it shipped half way around the globe.... and this showed up?
You Aussie hoons are doing quite a bit of good work, keep it up!

thats not the 1st thing I've heard about AJ making good. maybe that photo should go away since he did the right thing and that frame technically doesn't exist anymore.AlisoBob wrote:NICE!!!!redridermv wrote: That was my old frame, I talked to AJ about it and he came down and replaced it for me.

it will be interesting to see if it is even necessary. seems the vast majority of the home done conversions are not heat treated and seem to hold up but in extreme use ( jumping long and hard core MX) its maybe not a bad idea. My TTM frame came to me without the Honda sticker, I assumed it had to come off to heat treat or was just fried in the process. does anyone know if AJ has his frames re-heat treated after welding?shaggy aus wrote:yota we are waiting for an engineer to get back to us on the heat treating.yota wrote:are you doing any heat treating at completion?

Our Aussie friends build one of the most incredible conversions out there and you junk up their thread with the same old tired ass anti-Service Honda bullshit. 
Damn, give it a fuckin' rest already.

I think its great news that S/H took back some less than acceptable product, and made good on a deal.

I wonder who's pounding away and relentless hammering got them to replace it?AlisoBob wrote:I think its great news that S/H took back some less than acceptable product, and made good on a deal.

Now, if something could be done about the $1200+ worth of useless "Digital" Ignitions" sitting in Jay Lewis's garage.....and elsewhere.

Hey Shaggy, im very interested in what the engineer has to say about heat treating after tig welding,if you could post a response when you get the answer i would appreciate itshaggy aus wrote:yota we are waiting for an engineer to get back to us on the heat treating.yota wrote:are you doing any heat treating at completion?

What was the title of this thread lol ?

My experience with aluminum that has been bent without heat treatment hasn't been very good. Probably if the two downtubes were heat treated it would be enough.

the head clearance to the tank is good since were running a ngk r-7282 spark plug.
if we wanted a bit more room we can run a fuel cock from the 08 450r
