Been down 5 weeks after putting a chainsaw into my knee cap....I finished up my new a-arms since stock was twisted and most bushings sloppy. But I still had time so now to brace and fix cracked frame mounts at top of frame. Going to throw a dual exhaust on while I am in there, finish my 12hole air box mod drop in cams and jet it. Nothing else to do if you can't ride then built and make better. 2hrs didthis with a bad knee and no help. Motor will require a friend. Not sure when I'll ride again as it may take a few more week for full movement.

What the he$&? A chainsaw?? Damn...what were you nursing a while back? Arm or something? Sounds like you have another good project on your hands there bud. Especially with a bum knee now.

Well I'm stumped, how'd you take a chainsaw to the knee?

nice project by the way! Keep us updated on the improvements.

I broke my left foot in Oct walking the dog. We were clearing avserbice road and the blade skipped off a small tree cutting horizontal caught my jeans and chewed into my knee which already had a scare...I made hamburger. Figured it was the last piece we needed to cut then go ride. Back to building while down. I had my riding boots on and got me just above them. Things happen.

I'm getting there. Setting up gig for +3 or +4 swingarm on my raptor and think i'll build my own dual exuast on the KFX...not sure I'm cool with HMF's dual set up. Off to ebay!

 

[oldskool83]

Motor is out, how to fix up the frame and get it all powder coated. Off to ebay for some parts

 

[oldskool83]

Bought an HMF pipe. Prob build headers over winter. Im not a dual exhaust fan. Got a busted up tail light for the wiring to use for the factory connector into my LED small tail light. Fixed up my rear ends bad seals. Tomorrow gonna weld some on this frame.

Would love to see a build log on this with lots of pretty pictures lol!

 

[oldskool83]

We spent 3hours fixing up cracks, breaks and bends. Thru in a few gussets where these frames like to break too. Everything is at powder coater now. I got a few things back today I started preparing. I was suprized a slip on came with 1 header. I contacted hmf to buy the other off the dual set up so I don't have to built one lol.

12 hole air box mod is done. Tonight I will machine a billet snorkel block off, I never go more then a whole into mud / water puddles on a sport toy. Going to build a fixture for new front header since hmf won't sell my just a front header I can mod. Hope to start reassembling this weekend.

 

[oldskool83]

Waiting for my frame back. Powder coater seemed to miss place all of my last drop off...been waiting 3weeks now.
