BHB mod and front bulkhead

[Motorider]

Will the stock plastic bulkhead hold up if I put my modded gears and ceramic bearings in? I want the aluminum dhawk part, but the funds are short right now. I don't want to throw away my expensive gears and bearings if the bulkhead flexes and causes bearings to fail thus killing my new gearset.

The aluminum bulkhead is always going to better than the stock plastic in my opinion. But from what I understand, everybody was tearing up gears and bulkheads because of the new HD gears. After you did the BHB mod, the failures diminished.

I did the BHB basher bar mod plus ran some extra bracing from the basher bar up to the shock tower ( using the plastic shock tower ) I did then install a GPM alloy shock tower but still using the basher bar so far have no problems and still using the standard plastic bulk head

I did a torture test for 4+ months last summer on a plastic bulkhead with modded gear set. I used it as a tow rig, crawler and pit Basher and it never failed !! The same can be said for the rear axle if you install a pinion shield. If you use quality bearings and have a pinion that's been correctly modified and installed you will be good to go !
Oho and the Basher Bar is the shit ! I crashed the XLX so hard it folded up my billet shocktower support and sheered of the screws into the basher bar ! Showing obvious reinforcement. The stock shock tower is worth keeping as well... When I install the shock I use a 30 millimeter M3 so it can capture the shock through the tower in into the tower support brace.

Is thus the stock support brace or have you built a custom one?

Still using stock front bulkhead with BHB mod. Have had a DHAWK bulkhead in my crash box for over a year and have not needed it. It is a V1 so that should give you some idea how long I have had it sitting.
