i bought a mitaka, gave it hell for around 3 hours to the point wear my engine blew and bent the conrod. i then rebuilt the motor and put it in a 02 kx250 chassis, i have around 2-3 hour on this still withe same basket. so far so good and dead easy to fit

mitaka basket is forged, pro x isn't, I believe.mitaka also has lighteneing in the tangs, like the reverse of a flywheel weight in concept.K.
