Got these YFZ 450 nerfs from a friend. Didn't
think they would work on the Warrior so I repaired them and had them
on E-Bay. After months of no sale, I pulled the auction. |
I ran it through my head a few different ways and
decided I could modify them and make them fit the Raptor. Here is
one side with the netting removed. |

|

|
I cringed, but threw it in the chops saw and cut
about 2" out of the center of each side. |
Here it is butted together to see what it would
look like. In the end I had to cut another 1/2". |

|

|
Here is the full assembly dummy fit to see what it
would look like. |
Here is the same setup broken down to show the
tubes to hold it together for welding. |

|

|
As I said I had to cut another 1/2" out of
each side. Here the nerfs are dummy assembled on the Raptor for fit.
Everything fit so I drilled and tapped each side of the repair and
installed a screw. |
The screws will hold it together till after it is
welded then the screw will be removed and the hole spotted shut. |

|

|
Here is a view of the steel tube that will have
u-bolts come up through from under the frame. |
Here is the left side in place and all was
tightened up and marked to drill holes. |

|

|
I got a little impatient waiting on a friend to
weld it so I tackled it myself. Got lucky and it welded ok for my
first ever attempt at welding aluminum. |
After sanding and grinding the welds smooth they
were then glass bead cleaned to rough them up for powder coat. |
