R u sure u put the spacers in on the correct side??


I have never heard of anything like that. I have had mine crack by my stearing stem bushing, and On my left footpeg where i smoked a tree with it last year at Crawfordsville In.

My top motor mounts under the tank snapped off as well. In addition, my frame started showing some signs of cracking near the footpeg mount on the left. All that has been repaired however. Even though its fixed, I planned on buying a new frame for cheap and getting it all done up and PC'd, but thats on hold right now til after I recover from this full engine rebuild $$.

Pappy and his guys do some awsome work,i tore mine completely dow and sent my frame and sub-frame to him and got it gusseted and pc'cd......i would definately recommend him....just my 2 cents

Mine had a hairline crack around the right footpeg.... The rest of my frame is fully gusseted... I can take some pics if requested.
