bowellsyboy Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hi, ive got a beta rev - 3 06 and have just replaced my right footpeg bracket for the 3rd time, after bending it again!! It is the original type from beta. Having looked at it the support triangle piece on it only seems to be spot welded on and doesnt look very strong. I was thinking of welding it a bit more to make it more solid. What i want to know is, is it designed like that so the bracket gives before the frame bends or can i weld away ? Has anyone else had this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always weld the triangular gusset, it will make it stronger but not as strong as the frame so it will take lots of knocks before bending again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 The design is good just poorly welded. As Kinell stated, have the gussets welded up with a nice long bead and you'll be good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
