My guess would be that the engine plays an important part in the structure and rigidity of the frame.

I own cheaptearoffs. Paul's company manufactures all of my stuff and he is my brother, but it is a separate entity and ran entirely separately from DT1 and Mika Metals. We purchase our products from DT1 much like other companies do except I get to cuss at him at family gatherings if he jacks up our order.

Let's get the original poster in here to clear this up. I have no idea who the guy is nor do I get a dime from the Mika sales. No offense man, but this post above is comical. Someone asked a question and I answered it, no need to put on your tin foil hat. I happen to have information...

Yes, all the old chains were tossed. It was a case of getting good samples and then not having the same consistency on their production runs. The new manufacturer has been in business for a very long time and is well known for their high quality chains, not sure if I'm able to say any more about it than that.

I was merely using an example. I made the best chain claim based on who is manufacturing them now and their history.

Awesome, thank you for running all our products. You will have to head down one of these days and ride at our new track in Tulare, DT1 MX Park.

Brother, but not involved in the Mika stuff. The old chains were not up to par, the new ones are as good as they come.

They recently switched suppliers after some initial issues and I can tell you that at this point you would be hard pressed to find a better chain on the market. I put a new O-ring on my 450 about 5 rides ago and have yet to adjust it.

BRZ, can you email me your contact info to cheaptearoffs@yahoo.com, I'd like to contact you about doing some stuff for us. Thanks.

Everts was riding world championships at 17. I think back then you could start later, getting difficult to do that now.

A new one that will light the message boards up......

I got this one done last month by a local guy that does all our helmets for us.

So it's a win-win

They should hold husband and wife races, you'd be able to tell a lot about their relationship by watching.

Didn't see that One coming.

It's Smets. Stayed at our house a few weeks in the late 90's while prepping for the GP's. Super down to earth guy. Luckily by then he was out of the porn industry.

I had an 03 250 and it looks like that one. That bike about did me in as well.

There is a big difference in types of aluminum used between bars. Of course they look the same, there is only so much you can do with the shape of a handlebar, but the difference in quality will be noticed when riding or laying the bike down. Like the other guys said, it's a good bar.
