WIDE FRONT END KIT

Post by CRPD93 »

Looking for a wide front end kit for my 90 exciter, member on EXCITERSX.COM thought I might find a lead on this site for a kit. Thanks for any help, Steve

-Wide Kit. The Pipe I have from Bender is ~ 2 and 3/8" O.D. which is very tight inside the original frame and is straight with out the thicker center of the Reichards Performance extensions and therefore need an original piece of frame added to double and strengthen the widen area.
The Reichards Performance extensions are ~2 and 5/32" O.D. and fit a lot easier inside the original frame and the middle was raised with the ends machined and does not need an original piece of frame added. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=100&p=7647#p7647

Thanks for the Info, Does your kit come with the extra frame part to weld in over the Bender pipe or does Reichards Performance still sell a kit too? I don't have any extra frame parts to weld in. Steve

Yes, I include 2 sections of frame and it helps if you tell me how much you are going to widen the frame.
