Happy Thanksgiving and a couple of questions
Posted: 10:19 am Nov 28 2013
I hope eveyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
Couple of questions...on the left side frame, the tab with the nut tacked on it that the seat mount bolt goes through is stripped. I don't have access to a welder at this point. As a temporary fix I filled the hole with JB Weld Steel Stick and drilled and taped it. It held for a couple of rides and is again loose. Anyone else have this problem?
Next, I have a set of KLX forks that will grace the front of my 95 200 by the end of the year. I know they are not as desirable as KX forks but they fit my budget. I have searched this forum and others looking for the best fit option on fork guards. The search has left me more confused than when I started . I have seen where 94-95 KX UFO guards are close but it looks like they don't offer much in the way of side protection. Being plastic I know about anything can be modified to work, but can anyone give me a better idea of a newer style guard to use?
Lastly, apparently the KLX forks are pretty much KDX forks in USD configuration. If needed, would the shim stack mod be the same on the KLX forks as the KDX?
I really appreciate any input.
