is that that por-15 crap?

[DaveEX7]

pretty sweet...... whos that in the background of pic # 6

In picture 6 what is the purpose of that gusset in the front between the bottom frame rails? I would think that would make it so you can not use a belly skidplate.

I believe that is a gloss black powdercoat and it is Rico's frame.

[RiPPiNiTuP7]

Wow, very nice! How much does it cost to get that done?

[QuadRacer041]

looks kick ***** man

[Fred55]

Does the gussets add much weight?

[Sparks425Ex]

wow. i did it right then. i did all those same places except the last one between the frame rails. if that is ricos frame then that is pc not por 15.

I realize this, but most skidplates mount with a bolt that goes through that area. I would think that this would disable the ability to properly mount a belly skidplate.

You also didn't answer what that gusset actually does. Maybe we can all learn something new because I have never seen anyone gusset there before.

Thats not 375.00 with the powercoating is it???? Prep work............Talk to me here Jeff...lol

[YLW400]

hmmmmmm, how can I justify tearing my quad down to do that???

[Live2Ride300]

So its 375 for prep work, gusseting, powdercoating?

[Dave400ex]

Wow that is awesome. Did Rico have his Subframe gusseted and powdercoated too? $375 is a great price for that. Does that include the Subframe? I was thinking the same about that front Gusset because my AC skid goes right through there, but you could just drill a hole.

Rico already had his subframe done last year.

[Dave400ex]

Well I think I need to have that done next Fall/Winter after the race season is over. Very nice work....

[TRX300X]

Think you could gusset and powdercoat my X frame? If so $375 out the door is not a bad deal by any means. This includes sandblasting etc.. everything then right? What do you think it'd run to have my swingarm and A-Arms sandblasted and powdercoated along with it?

[Pappy]

niiiicccceeee!!!!!:D

yes! nice looking JOB!!..

question,.. were the gussests "MIG " or "TIG"..welded in ?

[beerock]

[jb400exxx]

Their pieces of metal welded to the frame to help reinforce the weak areas and prevent it from cracking.
