dailydrifter Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) Im cutting all the unused tabs off my frame and i have all the ones I dont need identified with the exception of 2. What are these used for? The tabs furthest back are the ones im not sure about. Also the ones just ahead are for a flag right? Why are there 2? In this pic its the tab with the bolt still in it that im not sure what its used for. Edited June 26, 2014 by dailydrifter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAVAGE420 Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 First pic. The square looking tabs at the very back are for reflectors or signal lights. Second . Are where the stock stinger pipes mount up. Hack them all off. As well as the fender mounts just below them. Buncha other ones to hack off all over the frame. Cdi mount, tors box mount ect and a bunch of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailydrifter Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ive already cut all the other brackets off that I dont need except the ones in the pics. Ill go cut those last ones off and call it a day. Thanks for the quick replies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadarRacing Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 If you use a flapwheel disc on your angle grinder to clean up all your cuts it smooths em out awesome and is good for finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted June 26, 2014 Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 (edited) So, you're gonna run full or mostly full rear fenders? If not, cut those lower fender brackets off. As for the 2 flag mounts, some people run 2 flags, "because they can". I always thought it looked dumb.

dailydrifter Posted June 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 I was planning on running full rear fenders but while cutting off the rest of the unused brackets I noticed that the tabs for the rear fenders are cracked at the bottom welds. So now im not sure if ill just cut those off aswell and run race cuts or weld them up. Bottom Pic shows a cracked weld for the rear fender tab.

jbooker82 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'd weld the rear fender brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailydrifter Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Welded the rear brackets today. I used a stick welder because thats all I had access too and wow that was tricky. Used a 6013 1/16 rod at 45 amps and practiced on some scrap metal first until I felt confident I could do the brackets without burning through. Turned out OK.
