SeanC7 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hey Guys, Quick simple question I noticed I had a dented A Arm. The bikes at my mechanics now for something else. I showed it to him he didnt seem to concerned. I wanted a second opinion? Is this a danger? Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na. Just trail and some street riding. Ya plan on upgrading that and suspension sooner than later just trying to do everything as cost effective as possible, so I can net when I sell it or lose very little.Lately been thinking about building one from the ground up.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 That dent is from hitting something. I would check the frame for issues, a-arm mounting for issues, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check the frame for issues, a-arm mounting for issues, etc.Ya that's what I figured, he noticed the the part of the frame where u would connect any grab bars or gas racks looked a little misshapen but nothing alarming, is that something to worry about?Almost like the bike either tumbled over or maybe the previous owner stood the bike up while wheeling I'm not sure.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanC7 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 That dent is from hitting something. I would check the frame for issues, a-arm mounting for issues, etc.I guess my main concern is when I'm flying at 80 mph on 6th gear on a straight away is the bike going to fall apart because of this. I know the suspension sucks. When the power band hits the front shocks lift up but that's just power, and I know stock shocks are terrible.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZillaFreak Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I would be more worried about a twisted frame pulling one way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanC7 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 I would be more worried about a twisted frame pulling one way.Ya, not that serious. It was bent at the top portion but looked really superficial nothing major. When I rode it the afternoon I got it, it seemed totally fine and half the time i had my gf riding on the back.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
