Hey guys, I started to make a mx track for the fifty's this weekend and I'm wondering if I should put a frame brace on it to strength the frame? I have upgraded the shock and heavy duty fork springs. I would like to make my own so if anybody's got any pics on how I should go about it it would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.

 

just do wat hanebrink does, some metal from the mounts on the tranny to up by the bars.

 

i made on liek hanebrink's a long time ago but i made the msitake by welding it to the frame where the forks are. eventually the welds cracked and it broke off. make it bolt you your frame

 

I was thinking about getting the PRC brace kit.

Lets see some pics of people with different braces on their fiddys!

 

here it is...

 

Here is mine. Its a 1/4" thick steel plate that matches the cotour of the frame.

 

hmm, i dont think thatll stand up to wat hanebrinks does, because it goesd from tranny mount to the tripple clamp thing on the frame.

 

how are the skid plates with the frame brace on them ? they any good?

 

I think those would work good, but still no like the hanebrink set, i dont think the 50 would ever rake out with those on. Here the site

see wat i mean?

 

$100 for the Hanebrink...kind of expensive for 2 strips of metal?!

This PRC brace looks good and is about half the price

 

screw framebraces, once you get a larger carb it'll have to go anyway. and if the frame breaks, buy a Sano cromo one!

 

PRC has two versions for the brace...one for stock carbs and another for 20mm or larger carbs....they come in polished, anodized red and anodized black.

 

Thanks guys for the input. I am going to try to make one this weekend or this coming week. I f anybody has any pics with them on the bike please post.

 

heres some pics of the hanebrink frame brace on a bike

Hey freak how do you like your xr70 forks? and wat has been done to them (they arnt bbr setup are they?)

 

hehe, i wish i had some xr70 forks. That bike isn't mine, it's my buddy Jon adams(dobe539). those pics are kinda old, attached is a newer one(of his engine). He likes his forks tho, ride well with his ishock he says. And no, they arn't from BBR, they're just regular ole' 70 forks
