Gordons frame kit

<< < (2/4) > >>

mick:
Some of the kits back in the day were a bolt in bolt out affair with no welding,  i think Carpy still offers one?,

and like you have said some people ran there bikes with out them?,

i think a bolt in kit would work ok i think the back bone is more than capable of taking the strain  ;) i have the Gordon's kit and it has been a great help  8)

cheers Mick.

the-chauffeur:

The kits can be had from the US site - just have a look in the classified/for sale section.  I think Gordon himself is involved in the process (he stepped out for a while).

As for the braces, I rode my K2 round for a while without them and didn't notice.  I gather racers used to remove them - because it allowed top end development work without engine removal - without any ill effects. 

If you're going to use the bike for normal riding, you should be fine without the additional bracing - but be aware that you might put off some future buyers if you don't replace it with something.

I made myself a frame kit , it cost me about £20 , i have this conversion on two of my bikes and it works a treat

Finished article, total cost 10 quid for materials and 30 quid for TIG welding.

Oddjob, did it with stainless threaded bar, nuts and washers for that very reason.
