CB750 K1 Damaged frame/center stand

<< < (2/2)

mick:
that does not look to good nick , i have heard that some of the earlier frames suffered from corrosion down there, anyone else heard similar? it will be repairable just depends how far you need to take it apart to get to it , mick.

JonnyB:
I've seen cracks (not as bad as that) on other '70s/'80s tube framed bikes like this before, I was always told it was due to sitting on the bike while on the centre stand and \"Rocking it Off\" (ooohh err!!!) - the stand that is.

You would of thought that with the ammount of oil that ends up down there, corrosion would be the least of our worries.

Spitfire:
Hi Nick,
          That does not look good, if it was my bike I would take the engine out, clean up the frame check for more corrosion and get it welded up.

Cheers

Den

Thanks again for the Help. I have had a close examination of the frame. well the best i can and it does seem like the only corrosion is round the splits in the bar. I did also notice though the paint has been touched up a bit in places but i think i might be a looking in a bit of a paranoid way. I will definatly find some one good and get it welded up. does any one know anybody good wth theses problems in the Gloucester area.
thanks
Nick

Nick,
Possibly the most knowledgeable bloke on SOHC 4s in the country is based in Gloucester; his name is Bryan Jones, email is blj@blj.org.uk  I think?
Jim.
