Anyone have a Burgard Stem? (help)!

[iceracer17]

Just got mine,went to install and the stock bushing is too big.Is there suppose to be one in with the stem?or maybe the stem was boxed wrong? It's about 1/8"-1/4" smaller diameter than the stock one.

Sounds like you got one for a 400ex or a 250r.

I just looked again and the tie rod mount plate is also 1/2" longer than mine.:mad:

[rowlrag]

Tommy you got hosed, yeah you got hosed:(

Burgard makes a special bushing for his 450r stems. It replaces your stock one.

mine came with a new bushing. call him about it , hes pretty cool with things.

[Jersey450R]

[tamehart]

$180 I believe

I called hellbound and yes it was suppose to have a bushing,being shipped priority mail.I tried a 400ex one but the o.d. was too small for the clamp.
They said the tierod mounts should be the same as stock,i'll have to see if that 1/4" longer throw will effect anything.
Thanks

I bought 2 Burgurd stems from Hellbound, and one was shipped without the bushings also.:grr:

The one I did install, afterwards on one side the wheel hits the a-arm when turned all the way. I didnt adjust tie-rods or anything so I will have to check it out a lil closer.

That's what i was thinking woud happen.A little longer plate would equal the tires turning sharper.

Izzy is a good guy, you shoulda ordered it str8it from Burgard and He would still give u an awesome price...His stuff is some really good stuff and the cheap price on it makes u think well this stuff isnt gonna hold up but I have his parts and I race motocross and I havent broke or bent any of his stuff, Its real test is gonna be this year at all the nationals, if it last threw all that ill be happy cause after this year im sellin it...Jus Next time order from Izzy at Burgard hes a good guy !!

Well,i bolted up the tie rods.My stock rims also hit the lower a-arms.:grr: I'll be bolting up my hipers next.If they hit i will be shipping this thing back.He may be a nice guy but this stem is not looking good for the craftsmanship.:confused:

[Pappy]

mine doesnt hit. handles fine.

if you do have an issue give him a call and he will do what ever it takes to get you right.

[iceracer17]

Like all the others have said give him a call he will take care of you. I have A LOT of parts from him and have had no problems with them holding up.
