frame

It must be getting close to riding season as I'm here starting a new thread. Actually it's just a question about powder coating my rearsets. For as long as I've had the bike, it has bugged me that the bike is literally all blacked out except for the rear footrest brackets and the rearset...

So I was out on a ride yesterday and during a pit stop was looking over my bike and noticed there's a hairline crack on a weld in my frame just above the motor on the right side. I've only put about a thousand miles on the bike (about 17k on odo) and hadn't seen it before. I've seen other...

Okay guys I have a Gen 2 frame and title, the frame is in excellent shape. There are a few minor scratches on it from me moving it around the shop. It has a title with it, it IS a rebuildable title. So that once you install it on your bike you just go by the Highway Patrol office and they will...

I've looked at it and everything "seems" ok. The forks were bent low but the tripple tree is ok. The tire broke the radiator cover and that broke the radiator. Like I said, the neck on the frame doesn't seem to have bent, but I know that doesn't mean it didn't. Its 400 bucks and has less than...

I have a 2006 FZ1 with Aftermarket frame sliders. I have yet to find which ones they are but that is irrelevant. What is relevant is that my hex bolt broke from me trying to tighten it more than necessary. I drilled it and used a reverse thread drill bit to take it out. Now what I need to know...
