Gusset kits?

[DeadLastRacing]

There was a member on here a year or so ago, that had his warrior gussited and PC'd by a company here in Ohio called TPR, (Tarantula Performance Racing) As far as I can remember they actually had gusset kits available for sale too.

Just remember that it is a 1st gen. Some of the frames front angles are different then 2nd.

well just my opinnion lol maybe you should build an aluminum frame LMAO

I like this idea. There is a local that build a Banshee frame out of aluminum tubing. Bike weighed 210lbs wet.

Good point.

The thing about building an aluminum frame, aside from the cost.. Is what do you plan on doing with the quad?
I'm just not real sure that building an aluminum YFM frame, would really be worth it?
The next quad I build is gonna be a liquid cooled 250 2 stroke, so I think I might use a YFZ450 frame. Or I could build my own design..

i'd use a raptor 250 frame for that but thats just me

Too small..
I would feel like a giant riding it. (and I'm not very big. lol)

Are you gonna use a YZ250 mill? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGL6bpfdD2g

I wouldn't mind try'n that myself, cause you could build one cheap. But I would like a more modern frame.

Noooo yz250 in a yfz frame id use a rappy 250 if i was small and using a yz125 or yz250f motor

 

[bones]

i only 5'11" and 145 lbs that why id use the 250 frame

 

[Mathius]

I read that the Rappy 250 frames are weak, and bust easy though. I wouldn't want that, cause I would push the YZ250 motor to the max. You can get 40hp out of one without much work.

weak frame = gusset kit and isn't that what this thread is about anyways lol

 

[Mathius]

True.. lol
But gussets won't help you if the frame snaps in half, and you have to go back to pick up your motor.

No, he has a surprise up his sleeve. And, I know what it is. Lets just say it'll make you GREEN with envy. lol

ah ****........

 

[YAMAHAULER]

Does GREEN have anything to do with let's see maybe Kawasaki????

 

[duneracerweston]

Hmmm to tell or not to tell that is the question..

 

[Mathius]

Kawi motors are over rated.. Unless your roll'n a KX500.
That would move it along. lol

I hate bastardizing things.

Cool a kx250 in a blaster
