little bit of carnage

[scotj77]

well here's a pic of my rear fender mount that snapped. also need to get the small rear motor mount fixed too it broke

Now this is the one that sux. to get out of the woods there was a hill with a deep sand path. I was goin too fast and it threw me out of the rutts and into a some big bumps and the blasty flew up in the bed and smashed the f'n window

I had just put a sweet YAMAHA logo right under my 3rd brake light on my truck window too. here is what i did with the yamaha symbol that came with it. I think it looks pretty sweetI:I

yep, that truck window is definately some carnage !!!!!
ALWAYS TIE THEM DOWN IN THE BED, FRONT AND BACK !!!!!!!!

and that rear fender mount sucks to keep welded after breaking, i tried 3 times on my old frame, till i finally built it up half way out the rod, it's holding up ok now on my sons bike, but broke 3 times for me

Dang dude, that sucks. My grandpa did the same thing on his polaris tank on the back of my dad's truck. Nice breezy ride home at least.

On a side note, the sticker looks sick.

that sucks man. i have a simliar story a guy was pullin my quad out of a mud hole with a pickup(yes it was that bad) and he had a quad in his bed. well when he got me out his truck and my quad jerked forward and the quad hit his rear window and it shattered. well anyways good luck getting it fixed and sorry man.

I have no clue. it's an 03+ but it never had anything on it when i got it

 

[Awk08]

it's in the right location to be for the oil tank, but i dont remember my 88-02's stickin out that far ????

shoulda cut that off before paintin that frame !!!!!

 

[scotj77]

I plan on mountin a polished alluminum tube for a tool box on that side. I'm keepin the bracket incase I can use it.

Sounds like that will be nice.

 

[Awk08]

yep great idea !!!!!!!

That's the back bracket for the oil tank. I left mine on too in case I need a good spot to bolt something on.

The truck back window SUCKS!

The way to fix that fender bracket once and for all, get a piece of 1/2" thick wall weldable steel tubing (They sell it in 3' lengths at Ace hardware). Drill the frame all the way through the other side and then countersink the inside of the frame tubing. Bend the tubing in the same shape as the stock stuff and flatten out the end and drill a 1/4" hole. Stick the tubing through the frame and line the fender bolt hole up with the bracket bolt hole. Weld the tubing inside and out and then cut the excess off the inside. Then weld the inside solid and grind it smooth. The countersunk area will give you somewhere to put the weld that won't get ground back off. You'll end up with bracket that's three times as strong as the factory bracket because it's all the way through the frame instead of welded to the outside and looks nearly factory.

sounds a little excessive to hold a plastic fender to the bike... I think I'd let it flap before I went drilling holes all the way thru any of my frames... hell, it makes it that much easier to removed LOL my rear plastic on my 450 isn't bolted on at all. I don't recall if I bolted the rears down on my 250 either. if I flip the bike to allow it to fall off I think I will have bigger worries than the rear fender coming off... yes, I have flipped it before and after it rolling on my skinney azz I wasn't worried at all about the bike. I think after my ambulance ride and emergency room release THEN I worried about the bike. prior to that I wanted to hold my daughter as I thought I was gonna die LOL
