Yes, it was an awesome deal! got pretty lucky
SS109:
Any idea how this or other cradles fit the 250f (specifically the '06-'08 frames)? Also, how much is the cost of the heat treating and who did you use, Metalab?
sandblaster:
This is the only one we have done this way.
If you have a frame that you want to try it with, send it to me and I'll experiment with it :evil:
I have not taken it to a heat treater yet as we are not quite ready..
I'll post the details as I get them..
SS109:
Could you possibly tell me what the outside measurement is across where the rear of the CR cradle meets the KX frame is?
sandblaster:
I'll try to get that later today but I can tell you that it is really close.
The CR frame was just slightly wider.
When we put it together it was easy to push the CR frame rails together and slip it into the KX frame.
Because the CR frame rails were being slightly compressed, the assembly would hold itself together.
