Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Aluminum Frame Conversion (AFC)

jBernard:
finally got engine mounts and headstay in and got her welded up. big step finished yesterday so i'm super pumped up.
now engine comes out and on to some cosmetic pieces and non-chassis stuff.
i made some beefy engine mounts, each mount is custom height and width for that space. used a nice fat chamfer for the standoff for weight distribution. theres about .200 of thickness touching the frame rails so they are super sturdy. only had to trim one width about .025 to get it to fit in too, so they are nice and tight.
on the headstay i went with a side plate design, i'll grab some pics of it welded in better, but thinking of using some thick .250 7000 series aluminum laser cut out for each side, hopefully its sturdy enough.
Brute:
Very nice! Pretty welds too!

Are the rails made from solid stock or tube? Looks awesome
