I just had the ramp/door rebuilt on my K-Z Sportster. A new door was going to be around $4,000. Rebuild was $1000. Apparently I've had a leak that caused deterioration and softening at the hinge area of the door. The inside of the door was opened and rotted luaun was removed and replaced. A 2' section of 1/4" aluminum diamond plate was installed on the outside and caulked. On the inside an approximate 18" piece of 1/8" aluminum was attached and then all was through-bolted using flathead screws and washers along with Tee nuts so that all have a reasonably flat profile. Everything has been well caulked and looks very good.I haul 2 600#+ Harleys. From now on I will be loading them using a 10' 2X12 to remove some of the weight from the door. Most THs use a door built by Lippet(Lippert?) mine is no exception. I hope that this is of some assistance to you.
