We will know next week.

 

I wanted to install a gusset, but there simply wasn't time to get that detailed and do it 100% right.

 

I think I figured out at least part of the reason it cracked.

Tricked recommended that I go ahead and replace all four rubber coated spacer/washers...

 

Turns out I only had the rear two in place. None up front...

 

Somewhere awhile back I some how missed reinstalling the fronts when the motor was out. I cannot find them in any of my spare junk, so I'm wondering if they were still on the motor when I sent it out to be built in 2008 and they didn't come back with it and I didn't realize they needed to be there.

 

I think the motor has been twisting a slight bit in the frame with out the front washers. This might also explain why I felt a little sprocket and chain chatter when cornering hard under power.

 

My bad...

There is only one on the front and one on the rear from the factory........

You beat me too it.

 

You were right!

 

Clearly I have worked way too much lately...

 

When I looked at the parts finder I saw the one for the front and assumed I needed four and ordered them.

 

There's four in there now and it will stay that way...

Yep and located on opposing sides as well. Kinda weird. Any built motor should have 4.

^^^Makes sense when you think about the forces applied under load.

 

Four seems like a better plan.
