karlo Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 unbelievable tank man! you could sell those things! went to your photobucket page, nice norco, i have a 06' sixtwo, I love that thing, I built up a Dirt jumper way back when from a nashbar signature frame.. I love that old red bike. Thanks, and the Norco is one of 3 bikes I have that one is just there because i'm selling it. -------- Here is the cost again for the setup but can be more or less i just got lucky with a few items such as the ballast and light with a cheaper price. Mixing Bowl - $10 Bed, Bath and Beyond 3.5 Qt Stainless Steel so no rusting 500w light from Home Depot used for: - $15 reflector bulb sockets wire Bulb (got lucky here) Ushio 14K eBay -$15 pole Copper tube from Home Depot $10 1/2"x5' in the plumbing department Ballast $25 (saved a few dollars here as well) from a friend but it's about $38 shipped from Ballastwise.com Epoxy $5 from HD - Metal Epoxy Total $80 Link to comment
