Here is something to consider. Why don't you post the pictures so we can all see. Agreed there are only a handful of people who have actually crashed theirs. If we can prevent it from happening, it would be a good safeguard for the rest of us to keep our Altas running for a longer time. When...

Here it is. I ended up making a small Delrin button that fits in the coil of the spring and flares out as a contact spot for the frame. That way it doesn't eat into the frame. I had to play with several spring weights to get it strong enough to lift the chain when slack. Next will be a...

I ordered new plastic and a throttle yesterday. By the way, that slider under the counter shaft sprocket can be useful. I took mine off and drilled a hole in one of the nearly vertical struts and placed a spring in it which pushes against the frame. It makes a chain tensioner. Next I will...

It's up to 50% now - I voted.

I will be in for for the resulting product as well, especially redesigned.

I guess I wasn't fast enough. Thanks anyway.

I will take it. Sending you a PM.

The kit was for KTM/Husaberg.

The first thing after disassembly of the front end is to take out the steering stem and cut off the external threads. The easiest way is a large lathe since the stem is made with an eccentric for different values of rake. Drill and tap to the depth of the stem nut of the damper, about 3/4"...

I believe it was a 23/32" drill once I cut off the external threads. Then I tapped it with 20x1.5mm internal threads.

Actually, I cut the threaded end off the Alta steering stem then drilled and tapped it to match the Ohlins stem bolt. I figured at worst the steering stem would be cheap to replace. If I ever sell it and wish to hold onto the damper a simple bolt would bring it back to "stock". As a side note...

I ended up having to machine the clamps and make some spacers so the bars would clear the damper, but the integral post on the race was a direct fit. All in all the 2.1 works really well.

I bought a 17 MX and converted it to a fully street legal "EX". I really hope Alta survives as the bike is outstanding. I have many bikes and can choose what I want to ride - most times I choose the Alta. They really did their homework when they designed it and the fabrication/assembly was...

So is there anyone else that has mounted up the Ohlins 2.1? I just picked one up from a guy in the UK and wanted to start to play with it. One method it to TIG the post. Another is to drill two holes and tap them for screws. I did this on my KTM Freeride and it has worked well. Let me know...

Mine is (was) a yellow MX and is now modified to a white, plated EX.

I bought a '17 MX and put full LED lighting on it using a WP Lion battery under the seat as a total loss system. After a long day I through a battery tender on it and with in 30min it is fully charged again. This way it does not draw from the main battery and lose range. I ride mostly single...

What's that crackling sound ???????? Just kidding. I plugged it in on the 220v side and it charges perfectly. In no time I put on a half charge. Thanks for the assistance / moral support guys.

If using a four wire - (3 plus ground) there are two legs of hot, a neutral, and the ground. Some places use three wire - (two legs of hot and one ground - no neutral). This is usually in an electric dryer three prong 220v plug.

I have checked polarity with a meter all the way through and white does go to white, black to black. The metal box is the housing for the female 220v connector which has the stub wire to the 110v plug.

I bought the parts and wired up the adapter. Going backwards from the charger to the wall I wired a 50amp 220v dryer male end to the GFI unit input. One ground and two legs of hot. Next there is a female 50amp 220 box which has a short piece of three wire coming out to a male 110v plug...
