I found a hole in my frame

(1/3) > >>

Craizeehair:
I have finally stripped the frame and whilst I was giving it a once over I noticed a hole on the bottom of the frame. The only evidence of a problem with a on the underside, sides and top are fine.

I’m not sure if there is a seam or if it is split, I have no idea if this is major… Is it ok or am I looking at some extensive repair work?

Bryanj:
What Bike?

Craizeehair:
Sorry… CB350 K2

Athame57:
What springs to mind here is a short section of the frame should be cut away removing any corroded metal around the hole, so a new section of narrower ( solid?) tube can be inserted within and welded up?

Bryanj:
As they aint easy to get that needs carefull welding/patching plus carefull checking of the rest.
Was not totaly unheard of on 400/4 by sidestand and caused by water getting in at the welds at top and just sitting there and/or the frame just sitting on the ground
