get it blasted and acid the inside with something that acrually works such as sulphuric or brick acid, it works a treat followed by blowing loads of xinc based weld primer down the frame where you can.
Or wax oil. Unless you blast it you simply wont know, mine was like an Aero when I had it blasted and had areas that showed no sign of rot. Well chuffed I did now.
Did you end up repairing yours ok in the end? Where? how? Cheers, Sean.

The front frame photo looks a bit like my 750F1, I was horrified whern I found it just before I took the frame to be powder coated, but it was weld repaired no problem and I have had no problems with it. Looking for a photo of the repaired frame but failing at the moment, if not I will take one of the bike now.
Looks like the frame was blasted and then welded prior to coating.

Thanks, that's just what I have, materials splayed out due to rust, did they weld around the joint? Sean.

After a close look at this frame I've two points to repair.
One side where the cradle joins the head and the rear shock mounts.
Does anyone have advise/experience of this work?
I'm planning to remake the rear mount completely (welder/fabricator by trade).
Cheers,
Sean.

Hi all,
New to the forum and need some opinions.
I've had several K2's over the years.
The one in question is a 1974 K2 750 which went off the road 30 years ago when the main bearings went.
I totally stripped it down to do the work but never got round to it.
Since then all the engine parts etc have been stored in boxes and unfortunately the frame ,wheels, forks have ended up outside for some years.
The question is (passion for the model apart);
In the poor shape it's in, is this project feasible and/or worth the time and money to restore? Or should I sell it as parts for others?
It's make my mind up time.
Cheers,
Sean.
