No Problems, just don't want you to think people won't keep to their commitments when you have done all the hard work.

Same goes for me. I want one too but am waiting for the report back on how it works.

I think science fiction and news morph together too often.
I heard the gun story was exaggerated, while you can make something that looks like a gun to be able to fire a bullet from one is something else, from my understanding the gun would need at the least a metallic firing pin.


The gun I mentioned Geoff did indeed fire a bullet. I listen to the ABC and they covered the story. It was manufactured by some engineering students at one of the big US university's and fired at a shooting gallery. No doubt it did have some "real" metal in the firing mechanism but I doubt they'll ever be in a hurry to explain how they made it.
Arrogance.....A way of life for the those that having nothing further to learn.

How to make it?  Just log on.  It's a free down load, anyone can access and down load the files for free.  That is their point.  They want everyone to have a gun.  They are from the pro gun lobby in America.  It certainly is no secret!

Just finished the 1st run with KDX175's clutch cover.

No over heating (actually ran cooler)
Sealed up perfect with zero leaks.

Overall I would say that this is a unreal product that will last at least another 30 years.
 Please pm me if you want to ask about it or I will have it at lakes tomorrow if anyone wants a look.

Also while doing this I stumbled across a supplier for the mech seal for half the $80 Honda charge.
Pm me if you need one
