CB750 K1 Damaged frame/center stand
nick:
Hi I have a CB750 K1.I have been riding for a while. It has had a missing center stand. I came to replace it the other day and on closer inspection the brackets are bent and the frame bar which the bracket are on has two gashes in it that are about an inch or so wide roth at the base of the bracket. also the bar has been bent foward closer to the block. So my question is how badly does this effect the strength of the frame and is there anything i can do about it.
any help much aprecheated.

Nick,
It shouldn't affect the strength of the frame too much, but I would suggest you get it welded up just to be safe?

Hi Nick,
I used to own a CB750K1 and the centre stand siezed on me, when I looked closer the centre stand pivot had rusted to the centre stand and had been turning in the frame clamps. The only way to remove the stand was to twist the frame clamps. Sounds like this has happened to your bike in the past. What I did was to have two blocks made which I bolted to the clamps and hung the centre stand from them, it did not look pretty but worked.
Would like to see a photo of the bar before passing any further comment.
Cheers
Den
