(1/11) > >>

hughes:
Guy's I need ya'lls help. I spent many hours this week rebuilding forks and rear shock , changing brake fluid, lub calbes, Gearbox fluid. Went riding for about 2 hours and that D*MN uper pipe mount broke again(The one on the frame) :cry: . The one just under the tank. Man it was 75' here and sunny perfect day for riding. I found one picture in the gallery of a mod. pipe mount. I would like to have more detailed picture of the mod. and what process you used. Thanks. I guess I will just wait unitl next weekend to ride.

Hughes;

I welded a pice a 1/6" thick mild steel to mine that was .500 wide,
and around 2.500 long.
I tryed tapping it to a 10-32, but it didn't hold.
So I had to use a nut, and lock washer on it.

Oh also, I put a .5 pice of rubber between the mount, and the pipe.
 :lol:

hughes:
I got an idea of what I am going to do. Can you post a detailed picture of your mount :?: Thanks

machine:
I will, but I'm a little beat up from to much partying last night.
So it will have to be a bit later.

I think some one has some pic's of that mod. in the gallerys.

hughes:
Taking my bike to work with me in the morning and fixing that pipe mount. I think am going to use a 1/2 square stock and cut it out on one side to fit the shape of the bike frame. I think that the square stock will be the strongest thing to use(4 sides). I should be able to get pic.
