Alright Here's my new stem that I just finished making last night....

The reason I made this is because I bent my Lonestar Stem when I rolled over......The stem should not have bent since the quad rolled on top of me, and not the ground :re My frame held up perfectly, and so did the rest of the bike. Only thing that was damaged was the LSR stem. :disgust

:O that stem looks [email protected]$$ levi!!......... cant wait til u build mine :blah

another.....it's sort of like the RPM stem, but a hair different. It's constructed out of .120 wall 4130 Chromoly, and should NOT bend. :lol :lol :lol

NICE JOB!!!! Tig welding is the balls, Im looking at a few different tig units right now, I havent made my mind up on which one I want yet, but Hobart has a nice machine I like alot.

Did you machine the bottom splined section, or did you cut and weld??

levi will hook me up huh levi ...... if he does sell them, i will buy one, im not paying that much for an RPM stem when levis is prolly stronger and ill always help out a friend before a company :rock

 

[AlaskaYFZ]

Nice job, Levi! I guess once my LSR stem bends I'll be giving you a call..... :lol

 

[CTYfzrider]

I want one of them too.

 

[Gibson400ex]

you should try to build handle bars to :O those are badass :ihit :woo

 

[pahrump]

Looks very, very nice!!


What did you do at the bottom? Cut-n-Weld?

When you gonna sell them and what kinda price?

 

[vorra65]

Miller ....... nuff said

I use the [email protected] outta my SD180 sychrowave. It's not the most expensive machine Miller put's out but it does do about any of the chromo/alum work that I've needed it for. Real happy with the product. I do have a Miller mig as well, and am very pleased with it as well.

:lol

If Levi sells them I'll but one from him depending on the price...but i get a good deal on rpm products so who knows

 

[Tony19]

That looks sweet.
One question though. Where id you buy your handlebars, how much are they and what bend are they?

It's more function than form.......but in person it looks alot better than in those pictures. But if you want a pretty one, I guess I can make you one Identical to every other swingin' dick's out there, and paint it pink with some "Pretty" Yellow elephants on it 8|
