Cracked sub frame?
Rick:
Great, we'll all look forward to seeing the gusset post.
On the case guards, I built a set one time on a KX250, but didn't care for the case exposure in the middle of the guard. I could have just added some expanded steel, but like you, still like a good aluminum skid plate. My plate is from a KX250, so I had to weld over the old hole and drill a new one. This thing has been hit so many times that I it's even shaped around my bottom frame rails.
Yes sir, I'll just stay with my skid plate.

Team Kawasaki runs the KDX style bash bars and welds a steel glide plate to the frame rails.I made a aluminum skid plate(well more a glide plate) for my 500,but I plan on doing the bash bar route some day.

I would like to know more about the upper pipe mount bracket repair. I just trashed my pro circuit works pipe and have purchased a FMF gnarly to replace it but discovered my upper pipe mount is gone.
Ramski:
I'll try and get some more pics posted of my frame. I've pretty much got the bike all back together. Just waiting on my BRP clamps, pipe and a few other small items. I did take some nice pics of the frame before putting it together and I'll post those with detail on the fixes.
I got the steel subframe the other day from True Torch Welding and it looks awesome. They even powdercoated it black with goes great with my frame color. The fit is perfect too!
