ledofthezep Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 Just wanting some feedback, where's everybody gusset their frames at? Recommendations. I know I'm going to gusset around the part where the bars clamp that's notorious for tweaking after a rollover, wondering where to gusset on the back? Just wondering what all you peeps have done...

frocashmoney24 Posted April 27, 2004 Report Posted April 27, 2004 shit i wish someone had a pic of a bare frame, i'd circle the places i did it on mine Quote
Trick2stroke Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 I do haha but its the wrong kinda frame. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted April 28, 2004 Report Posted April 28, 2004 sweet thanks, ill see what i can do n post it back up by tonight with some weak spots on the frame Quote
BdBanshee Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Make sure you reinforce in front of the steering stop. It always ends up bending forward, and then the steering will stick at full lock. Not cool! Quote
The Rebel Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Make sure you reinforce in front of the steering stop. It always ends up bending forward, and then the steering will stick at full lock. Not cool! What he said.... Quote
Banshee Flyer Posted April 29, 2004 Report Posted April 29, 2004 Make sure you reinforce in front of the steering stop. It always ends up bending forward, and then the steering will stick at full lock. Not cool! Ugh, ditto. I friend of my dad's took a corner fast and that little piece bent forward, flung him 15 feet and tweaked the handlbars. He was really sore afterwards. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 here ya go man, this is like the major gusting for xc racing, all the major spots Quote
Blue Duece Posted April 30, 2004 Report Posted April 30, 2004 its not a bad idea to gussett the entire under carrariage connections at the front end, if your gonna dice it up hard with other quads, it will look like you have a forward skid plate ...............one of my bikes is 2"s to the left from not gusseting the under carraige........ the front end, from motor to a-arms,is tweaked, but the LSR arms didnt bend, the frame did, and getting t-boned will do it also, not to mention just smacking a tree real hard.....its gonna add a pinch of weight to the front end though, but if you gotta strong motor you'll be cool, use a couple of gages up in steel from the frame and it wont bend, if you use Tin it will still fold up, id almost rather run a soft a-arm than bend my frame, cause when i go 80 down my street i can feel it drift, cause my frames slightly tweaked.......... and id hate to eat it into my neighbors mail box at 80+ Quote
