I need a couple KX500 pics posted please
« on: June 10, 2016, 04:46:32 AM »
I am working on a 98 kx500 frame rebuild and reinforcement. Some of the work I am planning is to reinforce the rear brake lever mount and upper sub frame mount. I decided to do these mods months after I tore the bike apart. I half remember what these areas look like fully assembled. I am trying to avoid assembling and disassembling the bike to see what parts are near the areas I am reinforcing.

Can someone post these pics of a 89-04 kx500:

1 Looking up from underneath of the area of the rear brake lever mount / swingarm area

2 a pic with seat removed showing what is directly underneath the upper mount sub frame mount where it attaches to the main frame?

Thanks.

What were we talking about???  :lol:
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Lol.  :-D  I was just hemming and hawing over how to design and place reinforcement brackets on the rear brake lever mount and the upper sub frame mount. I decided to layer steel on the backside of the brake bracket and blow off the upper sub frame mount until I can see the bike together.

I never diddled with the brackets but I fixed the problem with wearing out where the clevis attaches..
