'09 500AF build
jBernard:
Hey guys.
Been putting off posting my build for quite some time now. After having the original 09' kx250f bought, stripped down, and engine sold, its been almost a year. :cry:
had a ton of dead time mixed in there, from new jobs, to 65hr work weeks, to girlfriend and 3 kids moving in with me. project got put on the back burner, but i was always reading on here and thinking of things to do to her. now i've been trying my hardest to get things rolling again.
heres a few sneak peaks of the progress ive made along the way within the last month or so. taking rails to get welded in tomorrow. so after that its engine positioning, swingarm and motor mount spacer building, then the real fun starts!!!!
I'll be making a blog here shortly with a detailed write up journal, way better photos and more detailed info :-D
Solidworks Yoke design, using gusseted joints instead of butt welds.
Solidworks Ti 6AL4V peg brackets
6061 T6 yoke made per print , Ti peg brackets
Yoke rough fitment
Ti peg bosses, Ti boss pin, Raptor Ti Pegs
Org alum wheel spacers, New ones being made out of Ti bar stock, gonna be anodized blue next
Frame rails bent, and mocked up, getting fitted tomorrow
Applied triple trees, made a threaded offset that will be welded to lower tree so i can use this HPSD stabalizer on my kx!
Hope you guys like my stuff so far. long way to go, but she's getting there!
