    you can bet that i will check it more offten now after this, its gona cost me another tire now becaus i am afraid of this one, when you run them low it can damage the side wall and besides that it is a metzler and they have had trouble with those tires comeing apart after they have been run low on air presure what i have read any way live and learn i gess.

    I just went out and check the air presure, 18 lbs, and to tell you the truth i dont know how long it has been that low, have not checked it sence last summer, i regret to say.

    I like what thay have done here in mo. are far as laws, you can run a red light if you are setting there and it dont change, if you are on a motorcycle.

    You hit it right on the head, they create a shortage and the price goes up, the oil co. create a shortage and the price goes up, the gov. takes kick backs and the monster stays in control, we have enought oil in this country to be free from all outher countrys imports, the baken oil field in South dakota has enought oil for this country for 40 years, oil under the rocky moutains, the oil field that is east of prudo bay in alaska, the EPA is in control along with the oil co. The EPA is full of S**T and backed buy the big oil producers to keep the market under control. its like a snow ball rolling down hill its to big to stop it just keeps getting biger and biger, untill it hits bottem, invest, buy guns, bullits, water and food.

    Bench grinder, horse shoe rasp, course sanding wheel on a drill might take a little while but like i said i got more time than money, any solvent that will disolve the ABS plastic will work, asetone 100% can be bought at paint stores, home depo, auto parts stores, the asetone turns the ABS grindings to mush, just have to play with it and see how it works, if you dont want to mess with it buy some of that oats abs glue, when you glue it , it melts the plastic together welding, bonding it together, some epoxy does not bond it together jb weld will stick for a while but it will not melt the plastic together, i had to redo a fix on the fearing done by a PO, the jb weld was comeing louse.
  15. showmebob
    Just do it like they show on the plastix vid. put drop of solvent on(asetone) alittle ground up abs, and so on and so on untill it gets bulit up to where you want it, i am not no way going to pay that high price that plastix wants for there kit when i can go to hardware store for a small price of what they want for the same thing, but i have more time than money so this is the way i do things.
  16. showmebob
    Do a google search on ABS palstic repair and there is all kinds of stuff to learn out there, that is what i did, this Plastix all it is is plastic and solvent. I just took some ground up abs plastic and mixed asetone to it, it will turn the plastic to a blob then when it dryes all you have is hard plastic, you can use a sodering iron to weld abs back together, i did it on a sadel bag that had a big long crack in it, welded id back together with the sodering iron took some fiberglass mat for backing and used some oats abs glue to glue ( home depo) the fiberglass to the inside of the sadel bag. this plastix is a big rip off i think, when all you have to do is get some ground up abs and some asetone and it will do the same thing, look it up on google, dont take my word for it.
  17. showmebob
    Take some abs plastic and grind it up in a powder get some mek or asetone and you have the same thing as plastix, little bit less exspensive
