Frame weakness's and possible cures
Harlen wanted us to put up some tech info of what we've found out while riding our preds, so heres my .2 cents and what I've found so far.....
As most of us Predator owners now..... The 03' Predators came with somewhat weak frames. Many replacements were covered under warranty, but for those of us who's warrantys have expired once the frame cracks we only have two options.
1)replace the frame with an 04-05' ($400+ ouch!)
or if its not completely broken
2)Buy/make a gusset kit and weld up the problem areas.
Here is the biggest place that the 03's are known to crack.(not my pred, just for reference. )
It is just behind the tank, infront of the bracket for the main head stay.
