4strokessuck Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 I had the inside nut on my left rear peg come loose and fall inside the frame. I drilled out both rear holes and used all-thread also. Works great! My left front bolt snapped in the frame and I had to drill it out and retap it with a bigger bolt. I just rode this weekend with the front bolt on the right side hanging out and resting on my nerf bar. Looks like I have to tap that ass too.

FireHead Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 It sucked because my chain tensioner needs to be tightened down by the rear footpeg bolt, too... Where did you get your tensioner from? I only know of the RDZ ones being commercially available and I refuse to give them any money and I am too lazy to make one myself. :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstbanshee Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 many frames on the bikes i part out are like this, that is why you see me sell them ones for 100 and shipping. the birdshit welds on them inserts crack, rust, then sometimes spin right out when i hit them with an impact gun. just another weak link on the frame. thats exactly what happened with that square nut inside the frame the welds broke and the nut ripped right through the frame it's pretty nasty looking. i took pics i need to post them. also today it is being welded i will post the final repair of the foot peg when it's done. it sucks because it will ruin my powdercoating around that part. oh well mabe i will do another frame in the winter. i replaced this frame this past winter. bad luck i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasstbanshee Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 forgot to take the before pics i guess i could have sworn i took them. so i dropped it off today picked it up to day. the bolt is inside a sleeve that is welded to the frame. and a nut on the end of it to hold the peg on. it is so much stronger has grade A bolts, i am really impressed, thanks to badasskfx now i will be painting the part thats welded, very happy that theres not a lot of powdercoating damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh yes, James Lucky ATV. I have ordered many a thing from them. I should have known they sold the chain tensioners. ...............and for the person who asked why I refuse to deal with RDZ: Rob is a tool. He lies, makes stuff up and tries to pass it off as fact based on his own fabricated reputation, and he is generally unreliable at best. He also has the maturity or a 12 year old. :ohmy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some very close to me have...and they will never do it again. Without getting into too many details, buddy of mine built a complete turn key bike. Cub motor...the works. The guy that bought it fried a clutch...that's it. Took it to RDZ...and Rob told him he needed new carbs, the pistons were used (total BS), needed a whole bunch of other stuff, when really he just needed a clutch... Total BS job....ripped this guy off for quite a large tab, no Vaseline included. That's why I don't like or trust him Travis. It's too bad, too... He does make some very nice pipes for the cub and other drag motors... But his stuff overall is over priced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybadbanshee Posted June 8, 2007 Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 i had this happen on one of my old shees.i got a piece of threaded rod that was the same tread and ran it all the way through both sides and secured it with lock washers and lock nuts and it was good to go.ran it that way for about 2 years with no problems.ghetto and cheap but it worked great.

mdhc500 Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 I know this is an old thread, but does anyone know what size threaded rod that was? 7/16, or 11/12 metric? I have the same problem... Left side rear nut inside the frame toast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
