sand rail carnage

[supercrawlerfreak]

well we went out to superstition mountian this past weekend in southern cali, and I decided to bring along my little rail. this little buggar was goin up dunes my bike was having trouble with:shock: which was sweet. but then my rail decided to say hi to a big rock at about 30 mph:shock: :-( I laughed when I saw what it did...the only thing that didnt bend or break was the rpm arms:roll:

that sucks, i love that rail to. who makes those rear paddles you have on that?

[slugzracing]

that is awesome!"thumbsup"

thats why I ain't gonna buy one. That arm mount is not the best design. Should have 2 tubes and a skid plate upfront.

Easy fix, just strip the meltable parts off stragithen the bent crap, braize the broken joints and its good as new"thumbsup"

actually I just have to unbraze the center bar and braze in a new one. itll take about 2 hours maybe"thumbsup" thats why I wasnt worried about it. it actually bent in the one weak spot on the rail, but again I hit a really big rock if I had hit it with anything else it would have broken a lot more:lol:. Ill be replacing that center bar with a stronger one anyway, and if you notice I hit it hard enough to break the brazing:shock:
