TUSK heel guards mounted on a 350X and gussets too!!

[Dirtcrasher]

I finally finished this, the pics aren't the best and I have to order some SS hardware for the whole SHABANG!

I believe HRE made the "death" footpegs and IDK what model the TUSK guards are for but I chopped off all there mounts and made some in my lathe so they would be uiniform and appear like they were meant to be there. I don't have a TIG and the owner knows he'll have to get that portion fitted but I have the rest down and done. 5 minutes with a good Tigf welding guy for 6061 aluminum and he's golden

Came out very well with the HRE pegs, I like them myself and they look like Honda put them both on there.

I had to 30/45 degree the flat mounts that I custom made so they would have some strength.....

I could have adapted the stock flat chinsey brackets (they were completely different) that came with them (not sure what he ordered, maybe YZF?? or 450R??) but I cut all that crap off and made my own. That way if he ruins/bends/breaks them or takes them off there is a simple mount on the left and right frame rail that will look OEM once blasted and powder coated.

Pics kinda stink, friggen cats love to see whats up so it is what it is. But, I'm very happy with the end results and I'm SURE they will be super strong!! Just don't slip off that footpeg or get ready for some serious stitches!!

The owner can reply if he wishes but it's not my place to name him!

PICS, ENJOY!!:














I also gusseted (more than ever before) and wrapped the whole frame so it ought to be very nasty!! All these projects give me ideas for my next 350X build with one of my crate motors

Holy crap those are sweet! I need something like that on my 350x

[WIkid500]

Nice work. I definitely need to make a good set of foot pegs for my x. What kind are you running?

[KASEY]

i am not to fond of nerfs on trikes!! but that ROCKS!!! I REALLY LIKE THAT,,, man i can't wait ti see it complete!

[Dirtcrasher]

Thanks guys!!

If you had seen the 1" rectangles that were offset and bent and contorted to a muffler or a shock bracket, you would have ditched them too!!

I turned a piece of 6061and down and at least 4" of solid material goes into the TUSK piece and then 3 SS bolts into each HRE footpeg

Should be pretty nasty!!~

Gotta order up some bolts.....

me likey, me likey very much.

*sends pm frantically*




did you throw a brace way back behind or under the seat mount? strengthen that, and you really remove the flex from that subframe.

then again...you only bend it that far back if you're huge or if you wheelie like a tard.... or both.

Wait till this gets powdered

I wish someone made a kit for this, I don't have a welder

[NINJA]

[MonroeMike]

[harryredtrike]

[ATCeeya]

thats a sweet setup

[NESC104]

Holy Crap, Steve!!!! Those mounts look factory, absolutely perfect. Any further ideas on the master cyclinder mount? I haven't had time to go to any dealerships and compare units. Maybe I can make it to Razee's today and see what they have for quads.

Those heel guards were ordered for a 450R. HRE Atv did make the pegs for me... They are so beefy. I'm still not sure on the powder color for the frame. Im thinking something like this orange.......I'm not sure where I found the pic...... What do you think???

Thanks Steve, I'll be in touch.
