This subject is interesting; as I've bite my tongue many times over my build period.
It seems like many on this forum are not building, rather have bought. no problem there; but when a newby(me) asks a real question it quite frustrating to be ignored. One example: last spring I was bending tubing- hooking up the lines to the MC; Does the frt brakes go to the front or rear port on a GN powermaster? This forum will know! Posted the simple question and go get some lunch. Rest of the day passes; no answer. 2nd day passes, nothing. Finally in frustration; post of FFR forum, by dinner 5 responses. Ends up being a great discussion of over 30 posts.

And I did do a search. Many times the search comes back"search term under the min word length(3)!! and there are more than three words. I just put in "cam" one word. First 4 findings were; 600cfm carb, main bearings, avg age, date code. May times the search function does work right or this user can't get it to behave.

Other times when asking a "real" question, one will get put down type answer or an opinion, thats fine for the people just kabitsing, but frustrating for someone thats at full stop for lack of an aswer. Sadly, most of the time if I have a building question , I sneak over the FFR forum and normally get a answer.

Sorry for tha rant! Been building proportional the my build time.
