KX5 upper pipe mount Rebuild/Mod

(1/4) > >>

FuriouSly:
The upper pipe mount is another week spot on the KX5. Broken twice in two months and with two anti-vibe brackets. There is a nut that I used as a spacer in the top left picture to make up the gap as a temporary fix for my last trip.  Made it bombproof now. On both the Gnarly pipes that I have the upper tab is 3/8" from meeting up with the frame mount. Straighten the pipe tabs with a crescent wrench so they are in line and parallel. Attach the anti-vibe brackets to the pipe first and tighten so they align with the frame mounts (less stress on them) and then attach to the frame. I plan on powder coat and Bling after all bugs are fixed.
