Wondering if you anyone knows where I can get a 700R Raptor gusset kit?
Also anyone having frame problems? If so what areas on the frame?

No frame problems here, It looked like they did a pretty good job from the factory

Anyone having issues with frames or would like a gusset kit for the 700R?

Thanks for the info bud- Where did your frame crack at?

 

[VelociRaptor]

Right were the exhuast pipe runs behind the rear part of the main frame before it goes into the muffler. The rear section is sand cast and the hole that the foundary used to get the sand out is right there in the inside part of the frame facing in. Just run your fingers around to the inside right were the exhaust pipe is and you will find about a 1" hole there. It cracked all the way around at that spot.

Where di you buy the gusset kit? Or did you make it?

 

[VelociRaptor]

I made mine. I also gusseted the front bumper mounts.

How did you end up fixing the cast part of it?

 

[VelociRaptor]

I TIG welded aluminum gusset pieces I made in the corners.

The paint started chiping on my frame right above the front shock mounts so I welded in two gussets before anything major happened. No problems other than that.

Thanks much guys for all the Help!!

Has anyone actually cracked the welds or frame near where the stem is clamped to the frame at the top.
