rodsatheart Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Help !!!! I need a favor. I think my frame is bent. I need the distance from the top front of the neck to the large main cross brace above the swing arm bolt. (appx. 1.25 diameter tube). Should be around 27 13/16 (27.8125) inches or 706.4375 mm. Went to test fit the tank cover and does not fit with the upper fairing bracket on. Top of frame appears to be short above the engine. Installed engine cradle and they are low and forward of the rear bolt holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodsatheart Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Oh, and here's the kicker. With the mirror stay off the tank cover locating tabs are perfectly center and aligned with the cover. If there is a bend it appears to be forward of the locating tabs.

rodsatheart Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Little piece of info learned. 1991 saw a 5mm wheel base increase over 1990. Anyone know if this was in the frame or suspension ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodsatheart Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Well frame is bent. Crud. Now to decide to get another frame or scrap the project and cut my losses. Stinks because it has a clean title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodsatheart Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ya I know, but I am two hours away from anything major. Talked with John at Dr. Johns in Anaheim and it's not financially feasible for me to send it somewhere to have it strightened, so I'm looking for a good non-salvage title frame.

rodsatheart Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Ok. bit the bullit and got another frame. Hunted for awhile and found one with clean vin. Doing preassy. What mounts the rear of the fuel tank to the frame ? I show the I need to get the pad that goes between the tank and cover and seat brkt, but doesn't show anything else. A picture would be really great. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
