Phillip, I also noticed the new rims were not labeled Warp Nine, so maybe they are Excel?

Good news guys, we have got the last of the parts to the laser. The Bad news is it will take three weeks. The Better news is I got more material and will hand machine them today. By tomorrow the site will be live to order the "AltaVault" for your bike and protect you display made of...

There are many changes we may never know that are too subtle. I noticed the same reduced cogging on my new '19 EXR compared to my '17 MX. Some other things I noticed about the new one; - has a Regina O-ring chain - The triple clamps, although the same, were made of 7075 not 6061...

I got a chance to work on the skid plate a little more. It is easier to layup all the layers at once and vacuum bag it, but I didn't have the time / equipment so I must sand in between each layer to assure good adhesion. The second layer was in spots for extra rigidity so I made two ribs...

Since Alta is no more could we print new ones from the old artwork? A similar thing was done to preserve some of the Husaberg gear.

Is there still hope for my order then? I have called the dealer several times and they have heard nothing. They also got an email saying the one lone employee was now unemployed. I put my order in when we first found out but I'm not too optimistic at this point.

Welcome Michael. Alta lives on through this group of enthusiasts.

I noticed on my '17 MX the clamps had a part number inscribed with the alloy 6061. On the '19 EXR was the same number except for the last digit and the alloy was 7075 ( about 30% more tensile strength). Alta apparently made a lot of changes in the bikes if only the material they used. Mine...

That is also the reason for the blend of carbon, Kevlar, and E-glass. For rock gardens nothing beats aluminum.

We get lots of mud here in SW PA. It was common as a woods rider to put that forward lip on the skid plate to reduce mud deposits. Mud adds weight and prevents cooling. Last time out with the MX/EX in the woods it had been raining for a week or more. It was riducously sloppy. When I got...

I do not intend to go into any more production but will be happy to supply any information necessary for people wishing to do their own. I was thinking about making a mold and vacuum bagging it for a perfect job, I decided against it. This is the inside and would be considered a plug. Once I...

After 24hrs I removed the carbon which, after trimming will become the surface I layup the rest of the plate. I will be next layering e-glass, then Kevlar, e-glass, and on the outside carbon again. The entire plate will weigh next to nothing and be super strong. This is a similar layup we...

On my new EXR it comes with a skid plate but it is not as protective as I would like. This time I choose to use my kayak building experience to build a carbon layup plate. The biggest advantage besides weight, strength, conformity is lack of noise when a rock hits it. No more ringing. After...

Last time on my MX I ended up making an aluminum skid plate. It was easy to fabricate making a template first from cardboard then transferring the pieces to the aluminum sheet. After TIG welding the pieces togeather I powder coated it and it was ready to install. It worked very well as far...

Well I got it done. Went through the welds once more and cleaned up any missed spots, holes, undercuts, etc. After I painted it I weighed the tongue weight from the overhead beam and it is 174# empty. I have 400# with a max of 600# to work with so I'm pretty sure I can shuffle gear in the...

Is this your pal? Motorcycle Rescue Jack, Reloading Parts by Keith Products Co. Yep, I got the original idea when I got pinned under my Husaberg about ten years ago. The guy I was riding with didn't notice I was gone for about twenty minutes. Facing down hill with my leg caught on a root and...

I have never been interested in making production runs, only the design to suit a specific need. That is why I have turned the production over to a friend who makes motorcycle suspension parts. He will have them on his website, Keith Products and will ship them out to you. I gave him another...

With my new EXR #157 I intended to change the bulbs to LED to lower the usage. Will this be a problem? If there is a problem, can I just re-replace them with the OEM and it would go back to normal with the next key cycle?

We discussed it a little in the thread "Lower front chain slider" under Pictures. Rollers are definitely the way to go for longevity.

No worries, I got you covered.
