[QUOTE="Lutz, post: 762481, member: 25116"] I like the idea about using screws in the lower clamp, but... One thing I failed to mention in the last post is that the top side on one of the risers on the lower KX clamp has been sheared clean off at the riser/frame stop contact point (must have been a hard crash :ohmy: ). There is still most of the riser there, just not from the contact point up. Incidentally, the contact point is the same between the KX and KDX, even after the swap. Anyway, the point is, there isn't enough material to tap a hole into (at least on the side that is broken). The other point is, in a crash, there can be quite a bit of stress on the steering stop components - and I have been known to crash on occasion :joke: . Yeah, I'm really not worried about weakening the metal of the frame by welding - my real concern would be distorting the portion of the frame where the lower steering stem bearing rides. However, like you said, without excessive heat, that isn't likely. I'll keep everyone updated on what I decide - it should be easier to figure out when I actually have everything assembled in front of me. Everything should be going together this weekend, assuming that I get my axle finished tomorrow. So hopefully, I'll have a buildup conclusion and a ride report by next week. [/QUOTE]
