Also, if you have a loose insert, you can use this technique, but I found that it's much harder to get the insert to temperature when it's already in the post, probably due to the plastic acting as a heat sink. Better solution to this is to thread in a very long screw into the insert and put a...

So to revive an old thread, I had this same issue on an insert on my fender, so I decided to try and heat set it back in. I very lightly clamped my soldering iron facing vertically, so I'd have two hands to use, and placed the insert directly on the tip. The tip on my iron was about the right...

AOF Key Rings?

What would be the failure mode? I assume cracks starting near contact points from fatigue.

Does a community member have the ability to print a part this large? I have access to a faro laser scanner, so I could get a very good 3d model of the shrouds (and number plate), however when I initially asked around for quotes on having these molded it was outside my price point so I never...

But more importantly the question is what would people be willing to pay, because it won't cost $318. If it was available I bet people would pay up to 2X if they had to. The problem is that most of us won't buy a spare just to have, but wait until we break something, then look for a replacement.

Thanks for the info. I'm super excited about this also. Was there time on Friday to ride on the course, or is it a blind start for everyone? Also, I order my custom jersey through CanvasMX. I'm putting together a simple tutorial on some of the basics, I will also post a zip file of all the...

What would be the goal? The first thing that comes to mind is getting some information to help us repair or build new batteries or modules, but I have a feeling this is the stuff BRP bought, and would likely be protected info. I said yes in the poll, but not really sure where it can go. I...

2015 KTM 250XC Kickstand The pivot bushing fits the Alta bracket, even if there is a little extra play. It's the correct height, and when in position works just fine. It just has a different spring arrangement. I haven't tried drilling it yet to see if I can tap it and move the spring onto...

If you think a side-by-side or their Spyder would steal Honda's thunder. They don't have anything in the off-road motorcycle category. The Spyder would be lot's of fun, but not leaning on a bike is so weird.

I've been using that thread where I could, however the 2015 OEMKTM kickstand has the spring post on the outside of the kickstand. This makes finding a mount for the spring a little difficult. I might try drilling and tapping the kickstand on the inner surface to try and replicate the Alta...

It's pretty much what I thought, however I don't see what the smaller spring is used for (Spring on the right in this MXR Kickstand thread). Now that I look at the pic a little more, it looks like the little spring nested inside the bigger spring? How does the arm off the spring linkage work...

Actually, it would help me if you could take a picture of the kickstand spring arrangement. Trying to figure out how to use a KTM OEM kickstand, except it has the spring mount on the outer surface of the kickstand vice the Alta's in the inner surface.

I wonder how much that weighs.

Is it me or did that Honda sound 3x louder than the Alta?

Oh no, I'm saying you very well COULD. Just wanted to state my OPINION that it might not be the safest idea.

Well maybe there is some misunderstanding then. But to me, what it sounds like you are attempting to do is design an entire bike and sell it as a box of parts. I was under the impression the idea was to take the heart of the Alta (battery/motor/drive) so it can be put it a number of different...

I would say if you have a damaged frame, then maybe we can find a spare that might be floating around to help you get your bike fixed. If you want to build an entire bike, my point was to build it off an existing bike frame and save yourself some headache, cost, and possibly broken bones. But...

It's because they don't have trophy girls anymore.

Well unless you have cast your own frame before, it very much would be a trial. I'm not saying it's not possible, all I'm saying is that Alta went out of business cause they couldn't afford to produce these bikes, so the idea that a low cost production method will produce the same results is...
