New too site first question.Bar risers
mikesmith:
Do you make your own mount for the dampner,or buy one?
Rick:
If we are talking about the top mount for the handlebars, I purchase these. I made one once, but was not very happy with the results. Also, once you purchase one, you'll have it forever.

bigdan:
Thanks for the info.It all makes perfect sence.I have drill press so center drilling the 1/2 bolt should be easy enough.I just thought i'de ask you because scotts site expresses concern about having a pin that is too long and this would over come this problem.
I have a wirefeed for welding are the frames on these kawis just mild steel?
really liking this site every one seems knowlegable and friendly.I visit a lot of 4x4 sites and the same can't be said all the time.THANKS
mikesmith:
I MIG welded my pin mount for the Scotts set up,I always worry about frying the electrics on my bike so I disconnect them first.
Rick:
Yup, MIG or stick. I have actually used a stick welder with 7014 1/8" rod on low voltage with great results before I was able to purchase a MIG. The only problem with a stick welder is you better be a pretty darn good welder. I've fixed welds for folks in the past who "thought" they had they had the skills. The frame is not very thick, so be realistic about your welding skills before you start.
I also agree about this site being really positive. I have abandoned all other sites except Destry's site because of the childish posts. I really don't have time to waste on silliness, so this is my site of choice. Informative and friendly.
