keep breaking footpad supports

I keep destroying these. anybody else?
I go through 1-2 a year. sometimes one side, sometimes both. Either plastic cracks/breaks or the bolts get broken, bent, or pulled through entirely. im sure its better to have the $30 piece of plastic break than the frame mount bend but damn.

think im going to hit the hardware store tonight and find shorter bolts. once tightened, the nylock nuts are usually sunk into the plastic but the bolts stick out 3/4 of an inch and probably catch on every rock, root, and rut I drive through. hopefully this will solve my problem.

also debating on using some of this thick and sturdy conveyor belt mat with fender washers to replace the plastic "waffle". maybe it will give a little more but still support the plastic floorboard. whatever I do I will follow up as to what is/isn’t working.

Big Horn on ss212

Hi there,
Recently I have got a set of 30 gorilla tires on with itp ss212 14×6 wheels, now as the summer comes I dont want to use gorilla tires and I want to put on the same wheels a set of big horns.
The question is : Can I put big horns on those wheels as big horns comes with different sizes on front and back?

Wheels : itp ss212 14×6
Gorilla : 30×9
But the big horns are 26×8 in front and 26×10 in back

Will the big horns fit my ITP wheels ?

honda xr200-1983

I have a 1983 Honda xr200 .

the rear sprocket wobbles very bad…………

I disassembled the rear hub ………..??

should I replace the odd rubber & steel bushings in the hub itself & the inserts that bolt up the sprocket……….. the inserts that fit into the steel & rubber bushings are very loose ??
should they be tight ?

Oil change what kind and right hand brake ?

Have You know what kind of oil i should put into dront differential with ADC. There is new ADC with electromagnes without extra fluid in Scrambler 1000 2016. I,m looking for Motul oil.
Have You got any idea?

What about the rest of oil, gearbox and rear differental? In motor will be Motul 300V 10w40 full syntetic.

Another question. Is somebody who put right hand brake. I heard from big boss will fix but i want make sure ?
Olnly one hand brake for me is bad, when i stand outside, right side of quad i need right hand brake. (on difficult driveways or in ditches)

Check out my crack…

What’s the best way to fix this?…

Best idea so far is to clean it all up, sand the bottom side real good and find a piece of durable plastic I can shape and form to the bottom, and sand it as well. Then hold it all together somehow and epoxy the formed plastic to the bottom side. After curing, drill holes on both sides of the crack and thread wire through like shoelaces for support, pull tight and tie off.

Seems like I read about some kind of goop you could use in this situation but I forget what it was called. I believe it would take the place of the epoxy.

Right now I need advice on what kind of plastic to use and how to source it, as well as what kind of epoxy.

I’m all ears.
