75 CB400 "Dad's old bike" project

Tomb:
Looking at your frame, the repairs would seem much easier than getting a different one, The sidestand mount and frame tube is easy to sort. The bent frame tube can be pushed back out easily, the tube dent not so easy but welding on a slide hammer and pulling the dent out as far as possible then a bit of filler will work without weakening the frame.

Pity you're a distance away, I'd do it for a pack of beer.

Pops400:
Cheers Peter, I have a couple of irons in the fire, but nothing to fruition yet. Good to get the advice of those who have been there and come out the other side and it's all helping get me back on track, thanks.

Tomb, I have to say that if that's a genuine offer, I'd gladly take you up on it if you are a welder. I am up and down the length and breadth of the country regularly, so never many weeks away from being able to make a drop off or pick up!  ;D

Hoping to get some work done at the weekend on some prepping for blasting. Maybe wheels and fork legs, not sure yet.

Tomb:
Sh!t!!! me and my big gob hahahaha

Edited as this is Pops thread  ;)

It would be a good idea to put the forks and wheels back in quickly just to check alignment before doing any frame repairs, once we're happy its good the repairs can be done. Clean everything up and slot just the forks and wheels in, don't need anything else on.

Pops400:
Good looking work!  8)

Tell you what, I'll only hold you to it if I can't find a work around before then. If I am still stuck in the spring, you've got the job, how's that.  ;D

Incredibly good of you if you do manage to help. Thank you. This is quite the place I have stumbled across here. Many good people!

As an aside, I've been a regular at Santa Pod and Shakey since I was young, so would be interested in the drag bike details. I'm a Mopar man at heart.

Tomb:
There are some great people here, some have helped me, so I'm simply putting something back in.

PM'd you Pop  :D
