i bought a mitaka, gave it hell for around 3 hours to the point wear my engine blew and bent the conrod. i then rebuilt the motor and put it in a 02 kx250 chassis, i have around 2-3 hour on this still withe same basket. so far so good and dead easy to fit

mitaka basket is forged, pro x isn't, I believe.mitaka also has lighteneing in the tangs, like the reverse of a flywheel weight in concept.K.
And lo, I did loft the front wheel and carried it forth to the unbelievers, and cast it down before them and said unto them ''look now upon the might of my throttle control ye pitiful cretinous ones''
And the unbelievers did quake in their boots....
