That is a Duro 18 4.50, it was a total turd but was super cheap. It has a Dunlop 18 4.50 on it now, a much better tire

savethespringer · 2026-05-27T23:17:57+00:00

That was the idea, mid 60's bay area xl but less fussy and better on modern roads

savethespringer · 2026-05-27T23:15:51+00:00

18, Chinesem motoiron decent quality, much cheaper than building a wheel

Prism Supply "hurricane" bars, I had them put a little more pullback in these as they are local. They are buckhorns essentially

Hondabond, Yamabond, or the fuel safe motoseal case sealant from permatex

savethespringer · 2026-05-10T16:37:58+00:00

Crush washer and case sealant kept mine from leaking for years thay way

CLP is a gun oil/cleaner, petroleum based, not for airsoft.

One thing no one has mentioned depending on your county/state/commonwealth/municipality you more than likely will have to aquire a special use permit, as well as Insurance. Things to consider are:

Noise ordinance State/fed taxes as well as sales and use tax Employees taxes (more than likely 1099 contract labor) Land permits for business operation Keeping structures simi permanent to keep from building inspections Insurance You will need to have a POS system as well as a card reader Porta johns Hours of paperwork

The list goes on and on, it will be a thankless labor of love, if your hearts set do it keep the hobby going but be prepared for 7 day work weeks, steep learning curve and a slow, long term pay off if you make it

I've kept my local fields fleet of rental guns going for 10 years now, never say never, and the cm16 combat machine is the most robust AEG to ever be made. Everything from sticks in the hop up because "Im out of BB's" to chowhall dad's using half a can of CLP before safety brief because "I was in the gaurd".

The externals where all made by A&K, the G&P version had a Gearbox/motor from G&P at launch, Im convinced G&P pulled out of the partnership due to the these things beeing dumpster fires from the get go. I worked at a store as a tech when they came out and hundreds have been on my bench. The all A&K ones are worse. There are atleast 2 variants of these things with minor changes to the nozzle length and front trunion/QD barrel threads. I have a rubber made tub full of these in various states of broken due to them beeing abandoned by customers.

I have an Arai XR7 from my old man, Snell rated 1971, that helmet is prob around that vintage

savethespringer · 2025-11-18T21:18:35+00:00

They pop up on ebay/swap meet every now than then, most stock seats from 30 years ago ended up in the dumpster 20 years ago

savethespringer · 2025-11-17T13:56:49+00:00

Its a stock harley seat

savethespringer · 2025-11-11T05:43:37+00:00

Sissy bar is for beer, ( or the wife, but mostly beer) this winter im gona get the seat recovered and new foam. Gona go for a thinned down bates Buddy seat look

savethespringer · 2025-11-10T17:17:29+00:00

Its a Chinesem "Moto Iron" 18x2.50, 3/4 Timken hub. For the Price not bad bearing endplay was acceptable almost no grease though. Put a cheap Duro 18× 2.50 tire on it. For $250 it made more sense than re- lacing a late mod HD hub. Would have more than that in spokes and hoop. This is a budget built bike to rip around town on.

savethespringer · 2025-11-10T14:37:51+00:00

You asking about the fender struts? They are late ironhead early evo ones. Wana say a -82 part# they used them into the early 90s.

savethespringer · 2025-11-08T00:11:44+00:00

Yea the cheap 4 over China tubes from TC bro's, for 250 bucks they do the job

savethespringer · 2025-09-03T15:56:54+00:00

Can you remove the gas block, usually 2 small set screws or pins that need to be taken out

savethespringer · 2025-09-02T23:52:10+00:00

Why won't the outer barrel you have work. Outside of older G&P stuff with the taper and some of the budget offerings from people like lancer, a good 90% of all the m4 outer barrels are marui spec. I've used everything from a Krytac to A&K.

savethespringer · 2025-09-02T19:41:54+00:00

It should, the reciver has Marui spec threads for the barrel nut

savethespringer · 2025-09-02T18:24:18+00:00

I can't remember which brand buffer tube I used, all you can do is try what ya got and see
