were do i get grab holes and seat cut

[tim~74]

hey guys just asking were do i get grab holes cut and seat cut for fmx

[moeman]

most people do it themselves, not too hard, just mark out your grab holes then cut it with a stanley knife, and for the seat electric bread knives go well, just becarefull that you dont take too much off, its easier to cut off a bit more than to try add it back on haha then just staple gun the seat cover back on,

i have a feeling that ben fiddy from bfr does them too,

Oh there easy as to cut grab holes into... wat you need to do is drill to holes on each side of the airbox only little ones so u can get a zip tie thru them... they need to be to the end at the point or air box closest to ure frame, so that you can fold the air box in and zip tie it there , then you cut a little bit out of ure side plate, usually it's only really the peice where that vent is. most people just cut along the seems of that.

With ure seat remove the cover, mark up ure seat when you want to cut with a perminate marker, then grab a big bread knife or a hot knife if you have one and slowly cut along that line.... make sure you dont cut to much away as you can lose the foam and it wont be very comfy... even tho cut down seats are never comfy ha ha... so when you have cut the bulk out just trim little bits that you have missed then clean it up... you can use like a belt sander to get it really smooth, then simply chuck ure seat cover back on make sure you get it nice and tight and staple her back on, use an electric or air powered staple gun as the hand ones arnt always cooperative!... and then any excess seat cover from under neith can be cut away, make sure you always keep an eye on where ure cutting.. cause a brand new seat is 180 for people that dont work at a bike shop.

Then all i have to say is have fun grabbing them holes and chucking some rockies

only the front fender gets on without modifications, the shrouds not even close.

[GStylEr]

The shrouds go on but the radiator and bolt closest to the seat don't go in, the tank and frame bolt do though. I had them on my old CR.

Yeaaah but how cool is it when its fitted with 2/4 bolts?

[sloga245]

you wouldnt really notice unless you were up close would ya?

[jake red rider]

nah my bike is a crf 250r 08

i just fold the tabd in on the subframe and cable tie them together and u cut down the line like jayden said to make the tab fit in nicely they work sick and you dont have to cut ur airbox !

yeaaaaa, but it would like point out when its not fitted. whaatever.

Nah it doesn't point out or do anything silly. The 2 bolts that you do put in kinda bend the shrouds so that they end up sitting pretty good on it.
