top tube frame mod

<< < (2/3) > >>

Moorey:
I seriously considered it, but dismissed it. In reality how many times will you hopefully have to take the engine out or do top end work.

haynes66:
valid point. i'll stick with standard. i'll just have to bandage the frame really well when refitting. quite a squeeze though. but like you said, once theyre rebuilt, i hopefully wont need to take anything apart again

MCTID:
Heres some info about the Honda Top Tube modification a US Dealer sells/ installs.....but there's nothing stopping you making up your own or getting a Local Fab Shop to machine the parts for you.....after all it doesn't look like rocket science to me.

I also agree that it wouldn't be advisable on a very valuable bike such as a PRR/ Sandcast etc as a 'purist' might be put off buying it in the future, but for a daily user/ track bike I can see the benefits.

Guy's, I made up my own frame kit in 2012 I think ( posted photo's at the time) and there was quite a bit of interest at the time. Now I've got my own machine shop and have made a few kits which are a lot cheaper than the Gordons kit from USA. Also remember Auntie Theresa will rip you off for import duty and then add VAT and then hold it to randsom with their 'approved carrier' with a fifteen quid delivery charge even after you have paid for delivery when you bought it in the USA.

JamesH:
Great work. Saw those listed on eBay only this week. Will def buy a kit and try it out...
