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.

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.

Little piece of info learned. 1991 saw a 5mm wheel base increase over 1990. Anyone know if this was in the frame or suspension ?

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.

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.

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.
