Metal working question - 6060 ts aluminum
No. Or rather yes, and nothing came up. I am doing some serious looking into the 2 piece idea. I am going to get some titanium bolts and some nice looking washers from this place. http://www.probolt-usa.com/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Elevator murder experiment
Yep you nailed that one. I had a link to a promo site that discussed of this video actually got people to see the movie. It was made by the people that made the gorilla withe the AK video for planet of the apes. Cant pull it up at the moment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's a good point. It is a viral video to promote a movie. The whole thing could be fake, like that guy landing the plane with one wing.

Metal working question - 6060 ts aluminum
hmm. You can't really get the problem from the video I am starting to realize. The main thing is that the chrome seatback bracket is forcing a "bow" because it curls under the frame and is putting a stress on the aluminum bracket. That bow effect is curling the bracket into the fender. If it could go straight out from the frame without the curl it would would still touch the fender. The aluminum bar would be a straight shot from the outside mount from the frame to the outside mount on the hitch if the seatbak bracket didn't curl under, but that would be a significant amount of grinding on my back seat frame - and those pieces are $170 apiece. Attaching from the inside frame point to the inside hitch would be straight if I didn't have this model bike fender. The bar would still contact the fender in a way that having a trailer attached would likely ruin the fender. I really am starting to think that Malsua's idea might work best, no bending, minimum grinding. I would bolt from the inside frame points and, through the two piece solution, attach to the outer attach point on the hitch.

I am really surprised at the fact that not a single person had anything to defend themselves any any sense to accomplish anything of value.

I take some pics this weekend. The way I see it, moving the attach to the outside of the lower piece only accomplishes making a greater need for a bigger bend to get out to it and more grinding of my chrome.

Despite the questions of what I would do and why, the only thing I really start to wonder about this is if a tactical pen could punch a hole in a man's skull.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Done as a viral campaign for a movie. Facinating negligence. I mean, it's interesting and all, but even though I don't carry a gun I do have means to stop that and the guy would be hurt.

Metal working question - 6060 ts aluminum
yea. This video was made because I thought that they sent me the wrong model. Even with the grinding though there will still need to be an offeset because of the width of the fender.

Metal working question - 6060 ts aluminum
its about 7mm - .275 I like the idea of the extender. If I could make it pretty that seems like a winner. Would help in regards to what Shane mentiones, although the trailer is very light. Yes, this. Bending it out and then hanging something off of it seems like it would fatigue it. But the internets seem to think that doing the bends hot make this okay.

That's F'ing AWESOME! I'm all the way up in Morris Plains but I plan on taking the trailer down to Millville every other weekend so I have no excuse. Let me think on that after I get a few more ideas.

Metal working question - 6060 ts aluminum
I dont know why I didn't attach this at first. Here is the video I sent the manufacturer. Since this video and talking with them I have decided to attach to the other side of the frame and make the bends. http://youtu.be/_FCGd93b_QY

Metal working question - 6060 ts aluminum
Hey all. I know there are people out there that can help me. I got a new trailer hitch for my motorcycle. The model bike they used for their design didn't take the rear fender into consideration of the limited edition model I have. There are two straight alumiinum bars that drop from the rear of the frame to hold the hitch up and they are not primary load bearing. My question is, if I bend the straight bars in two places about 15 degrees do I need to worry about annealing the metal? They are about 19" long and the bends would be about 3" rom wach tip. I am no expert and googling the question comes up with answers far above my level of experience. I am looking for a cheat sheet.

Are you thinking about moving out of NJ because of the proposed new gun laws?
I am not exactly sure myself. It might be when you're selling a house, but I don't know for certain. I believe there is a tax when you sell and move out of state that you have to pay upon your exit. I don't have any more information though. Come to think of it, I heard about it on this forum. I really am not clear on it. EDIT, well it seems there are more knowledgeable people here that have answered it. Thanks guys, that cleared up a lot! The thing is, with taxes the way they are, there is no way I would retire here. Considering KY actually. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Why "Assault Weapons?"
There is a quote from a gun control group that basically concedes that a handgun ban won't work but a better strategy is to go after the scary looking rifles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
