I bought a driver side and cut the front lip out to replace the front lip on my original one. The caveat is you just cant simply do a straight line cut and swap it because the outer edges and holes are not the same. You have to cut those off, too. Then weld them on the opposite side of replacement piece. You also have to plu he center hole and then drill a new hole about 1/2" to the right in order for it to line up. I don't know if any of this make sense to you, but I can tell you it's very time consuming. |
Once you grind it down, no one will know. Great work on your build, glad you got past the fuel tank fiasco
Nice KTM
