kh carbon fiber base question

[sabin_a.]

hey guys,

I was wondering if you can drill a kh cf base to fit a kinport
handle. considering the curve of the handle space on the kh base might
be the same a the curve of the miyata.

thanks,
-Sabin

Sabin,

The Kinport handle does not fit down into the KH style CF base because
it is a little too wide. It would probably go if you did some grinding
on the corners of the Kinport, but it could compromise the strength.

It would also not fit tightly up to the lower edge of the base because
the KH style base is shallower than the Miyata style, but that is just
a cosmetic issue.

Ok well I have a question too that has something to do with this...sort
of. I have a miyata cf base with a reeder right now and if I wanted to
switch to a kinport ever would it be bad to drill more holes in the
base? If I drilled it again for a kinport then there will be 6-7 holes
in the front of my base( I don't know how many bolts are on a kinport)
Will it compromise that much strength if the front of my base looks
like swiss cheese? :)

Strengthwise I doubt there would be a problem. But, chances are the
front hole on the Reeder will not fall in exactly the same place as the
Kinport hole needs to be but they may overlap wich could be a bit of a
problem if you end up with an oversize hole that won't hold the bolt
head. If that happens you can probably epoxy the hole up and redrill
it.
