hey every one, encase you didnt read in a past post, i planned on makeing a billet brake peddle... when i wear my motocross boots i notice the peddle is to short and i cant work the back brake that well.

so I made a longer peddle ( by 1/4 of an inch ) and would like to try it out, if i ever wanna go back to the stock one i can make on in that length and with and since i will drill and tap the side of my brake lever ( i will remove the factory peddle ) i can make long or short levers or levers with more bite or levers that look more bling ect ect.

about the peddle:

the peddle is made from 15-5 heat treated "black hawk meterial" and yes black hawk as in the helicopters..... ( i make parts for them thats my job lol )

from squair stock to finnish, using a manual mill this would take me ( working threw lunch and 15 min befor work ) about 2 maybe 3 days at the most to make. the side that is steped down is steped for the screw heads, sort of like a counter sink so they sit flush

this is a vary light peddle...... i will make one with a cross bar going from the long side to longest side with a relief on eaither side some time, and yes i will be doing this for club members ONLY

well here you go

Who said you have to get in the water!? lol It's big enough no one gets in the water lol

any chance we can stay on subject... iam sure their is a boat forum right down the road you can visit that and talk about boats

Is this a joke?

so when are the pics of it on the xx coming Hawk?? p.s im going boating this weekend:lmao: sorry had to1

Is this a joke?

i dont recall putting haha at the end of it so.... not joaking.


remington:

i have pix of it on the xx.... but its bed time so ill get them up tomarrow morning so check back then

Is this a joke?

That is funny! I had the same thought! I think Hawk has become a little full of himself.

Jeff,

Think it'll fit on your boat?

any chance we can stay on subject... iam sure their is a boat forum right down the road you can visit that and talk about boats

What subject would you like people to stay on? You didn't ask any questions, you didn't make a statement and ask for people's opinions, you didn't create a topic of discussion! Sooooooooo.......

any chance we can stay on subject... iam sure their is a boat forum right down the road you can visit that and talk about boats HaHa

Look again

the subject of this post actually..... i dont recall asking telling or showing pictures of a boat....

so when i come here to read the newest replies..... i really hate getting my time waisted with the silly nonsens. I see it alot around here, some one askes about shocks.... and gets silly replies about seats or headlights

not full of my self at all....... just a pet peave.. if i visit a post about fox shocks... i dont make a replay dealing with my dodge truck or ne thing of that nature.

people, people! my posts can be deleted out of this thread - for the threads sake and to stay on topic.

For what its worth...
It started as me wanting a CNC machine so i could make cool shit like Hawk. In order for me to buy a CNC machine, I would have to sell my boat to do so. So if I have to sell my boat to buy a CNC machine that would make kick ass shit like Hawk's, I dont see it being off topic at all. :D

Looks good! Do you think the extra leverage you apply will bend the arm itself?

Cant we just make another thread about shocks or something?

I'm just busting your balls but in the thread below about houser a arms you ask about exhaust, i'm sure there are more than this. you come off as being unfriendly to the people your posting to when you make previous post, just my observation.

im sure you're not the only one noticing it...

took a small ride and really jammed down on the arm to see if this is so ( wouldnt want it to brake as your comming down a hill ) it looked fine.

remember this is no steel that you buy at home depot... its 15-5 heat treated steel used in blackhawk helicopters, heat treats spacific ( if thats spelled right ) to the aero/space and military industry alone.

in short... it should be fine, but after my ride next week ( 30 mile ride in the wva hills ) i will check back and tell you how well it held up or if it failed and i need to redesign it


also get your self an NC machine and ill write you a program and email it to ya and you can make one

ill give you that as far as off topic.... yet still its related to the quad... not somthing off the wall like boats...

now i can also see them talking about selling the boat and to buy an nc machine to make cool things like the brake peddle...

how ever I see tones of posts filled up over silly things, i might visit a post where the poster asks about revalving shocks..... and as i skim down to find out the answere to his question, i find it full of way off topic discussion, thus 2 minits of my life where wasted.


i come to this forum because like most of us i want to know as much as i can about the various componests of the quad, I want to know how to rebuild/valve shocks adjust and dial in dampers, which products work..... which are a waste of money, which companys back their product and which flake out.

i dont come here to have a good laugh or a good time with the "boys" i dont wanna sound like a jack ass but when it comes to techinical talk iam pretty serious..

i brough this brake peddle mod to you all just to give you another option, if your peddle is short, you cant touch it or feel it with your mx boots... here is an option....

dont mean to sound unfriendly, i just take the club pretty seriously

and lastly, i dont want this posted filled with contraversy... lets discuss the brake peddle and or how i made it how it functions so far any thing of that nature.

i want to answere all your questions on it cause iam vary excited about it. i also hope your excited i would like to build you all fancy cool peddles

I come to this forum for technical reason as well, but I like the human aspect of a forum rather than it reading as an encyclopedia. When new members come here one of the first things they comment on is how well everyone get's along.

I believe that most others come here and feel the same way. While I really like that this site is the (in my opinion) foremost site for technical information on the 700xx, it's also a great group of people. In my opinion if you have one without the other your site fails.

...and yes, as others have noticed while we appreciate your technical fervor, it's just sometimes you come off as unfriendly.

...and yes, as others have noticed while we appreciate your technical fervor, it's just sometimes you come off as unfriendly.

thats an absolute shame.


moving on, I went for a ride today and the peddle works flawsly, the peddle sits roughly 1/4 of an inch up higher then stock thus under hard braking you dont need to push down quite as far.

the peddle also feels more...stout if you will, it feels vary vary nice under my shoe.... when the weather brakes ill try it with my boots

I like the banter that takes place on this web site. I would say in general most technical questions get answered pretty thoroughly. If this web site was as serious as you say you would like..... I probably wouldn't visit as much as I do.

I agree with you to some extent though! If people on this web site start talking about problems with their girlfriends, I would probably think they went too far off the topic of the 700XX.

hey Atlanta.... PLEASE don't get off topic...:D
we don't want another fit..

hey Atlanta.... PLEASE don't get off topic...:D
Shouldn't you be sleeping!

lets discuss spell checkers













I mean brake pedals, my bad

didnt know this wast the grammer forum......could have sworn i was at club700xx.com lol my bad......

It's not (a grammar forum) but since you posted about it....

It's something that discounts at times what you're saying, and by "you" I mean the collective you as in everyone, not you, Hawk. The person posting could have the most awesome technical ability, but their delivery in the form of grammar and spelling could be way incorrect and the reader will discount any knowledge that was meant to be conveyed. So the poster haveing this awesome bit of information would end up posting twice as much and having to explain themselves even further wasting the OP's (original poster) time.
Imagine if you read an owners manual or some other important document that was riddled with spelling errors and other errors. You (again the collective you) would surely discount whatever knowledge that was contained within, or even possibly stop reading it entirely.

Hawk,

Now, I'll say again that I really enjoy your technical thirst for knowledge and the fervor at which you want to share it.

I genuinely mean that. I like you being here, I just don't want to see your time being wasted here by you having to over explain something or that your intended audience might be passing in the pearls of wisdom you are imparting upon them. I think you're a very valuable member with a lot of information to share.

Everyone,

BACK ON TOPIC. :D

I love fancy brake pedals, club 700xx, and all the people in da club. Sorry, a little drunk right now. Hawk, Your brake pedal kicks axx but don`t be so anal.

Nice piece of hardware hawk, just chill man, love your enthusiasm gotta say.

lets get these brake peddles in the hands of the people who want them here at the club...

i love doing this kinda work.... which is the reason I am a machinist, so any one willing to have one of these just let me know. I am going to have two versions.... the open version which I made for my self and a version that has a bar going length wise threw the center ( with "teeth" milled into it )

if any one is intrested shoot me a pm.. iam going to ask 45 shiped

Here is what you get :

brake peddle in your choice of opened or "barred"

your brake lever's end gets squaired and then drilled and taped to accept this peddle and any further lengthed peddles you would like me to make.

add 10 bucks your peddle can be black oxided how ever i will sand blast the peddle and spray it flat black for free.

peddle is made of 15-5 heat treated steel

i can do custome peddles in your choice of shapes ie: triagular but that will cost a bit, esp considering iam turning these out on a manual mill not cnc


edit: Ooops also forgot to mention If you buy one you get a life time warrenty, if you brake one.. i build you a new one for free, even shipping is free..

if you buy one and then want a shorter one, ill make a shorter one a half cost, so 45 shiped for the first... then hey i would like one shorter for when iam using my shoes... second one is 22.50

I have to say it, even if it gets me kicked off the forum. Hawk you should go get a life, a girl friend or even a dog! Just find something else to do with some of your time. I don't want to come off as rude but, you are completely obsessed with this stuff and some of your posts and comments drive me nuts, must you question everthing? Talking about being able to afford these shocks and a-arms and in the same breath saying your going to take a loan out to get them! Are you a pro rider? Just my opinion but, take vacation from the wheeler and go get LA*D!

your getting off subject hahahahahahaha

I like the best, but what is the best ? thats why i ask questions.

am i a pro ?? nope but you might see me in a few years in dirt wheels lol.... why do you think iam asking and making parts and about all these parts...... i wanna cross country race.

go post your jackass opinion some place else.... maybe you can go to the "in general section" and make a post called "hawk is getting on my nerves" and you can say what ever you want their

How many manufactured products can you sell on this site before you need to pay advertising costs?

Voicing your opinion so long as you do it within reason is OK in my opinion. Everyone isn't going to always going to agree, and you're not getting kicked/banned or whatever, just try to keep it from getting personal.

I should have asked this question on his other thread where he offers a couple more products and machining services!

I see Hawk has a FS thread as well for this. I'm going to start uncluttering the forum of duplicate posts that have already been asked/addressed. If anyone has any questions or issues please IM me and do not start a thread about it.
