It doesn't fit....

[stay_upright]

I've just about finished rebuilding my 05 300 after a year of non-use due to a crash and broken wrist.

I can't help wishing it was a KTM so the bits actually fit together properly I'm getting fed up as it takes a lot of time and bodges to get it together though i do love the motor, suspension and brakes so it's worth it but I didn't feel it this weekend.

Here's what didn't fit:

Moose replacement bearings are loose in the swingarm - gives 1-2mm play with new bearings!

Rad panels (Polisport) are no-where close to fitting on the bike and it's made worse with rad guards on. The fit is terrible

The Hunt graphics sticker for the front of the fender is way way too wide and the wrong shape - some serious cutting with scissors was necessary.

The Hunt sticker for the fender has no holes for the two mounting bolts - I will have to drill the sticker once set.

The Hunt stickers for the side of the rear fenter are too wide at the end - scissors again....

The Hunt sticker for the LH fork boot has no cut out for the cable mount at the top - scissors again...

The cycra handguards mounting hole for the mount which fits onto the bars is 2" (yes 2 inches) away from where it should be. Out comes the 8mm drill! Yes I phoned them - that's the way they are I have all the right bits for my protapers.

That's about it for now but it's turned what should be a 5 hour job into a 20+ hour job
