Zuki tank armor

BoDuke01 · 11-21-2009, 10:43 PM

So u kno wut I hate?
No handbrake staggered circles. Cant do em. Knew I couldnt do em, but cracked my frame tryin anyway.

Fuggin 905 pos cage didnt help much either. If I can pry that crap off my bike I think Ill try an Impactek. Any ideas? 02 sixxer (other than burn the bike and get a kawi or f4i)
I got some random alum and billet plate to reinforce the frame and plate up the subframe. Im thinking about fabbing a forward mount for a 1 off cage that doesnt bolt to the motor mounts by adding a cross bar a few inches in front of the forward motor mount w a bracket that I can mount the cage to. After plating it all up first of course. If that makes any sense.

Im just getting tired of this shit ass zuki frame falling apart all the time. I like everything else about it and I love zukis but goddam gotta spend more time fixing the fukr than I get actually riding it. Its like a hot girlfriend that has chronic migraines. I dont care if ur head hurts thats not the parts Im interested in!
OK rant over. Any helpful input will b appreciated.

BTW bf the nit pickin vulture posting starts, I know I dont need a hb for staggered circles. Thats why I tried em staggered. Jus think it would b easier w a hb cuz I throw my right leg or knee out trying to catch my balance and its tricky catching the brake like that. Yet to break the habit. Yet to pull of a full staggered circle either. Baby steps

Thanks for the input loogie. My frames not too bad. Gotta nasty dent on one side and that 1 1/2" crack above the mount. Iv got more scrap and skill and time than I do cash to replace shit parts. Id rather just drop the motor once and armor this beast up than spend the $$ on a new frame that I will prolly tear up n no time. If nothing else Ill ty something different w this frame and if it doesnt work out Ill replace it. If it does than Ill never have to replace it again. Also Id like the cage to b out of the way enough that I can still get to the case covers to make adjustments and fill the oil, etc alil easier. Besides I need some practice tig welding aluminum
