Tweaked Frame

[Andy]

From picture posts below you can see how my frame is bent to point front end to the left (seems about about 15 degs from centerline). Can actually really notice this comparing tight left vs right turns. One pic is from top, other is the spot on frame where bend is most obvious. Thinking to just try to pick-up a straight frame to swap, what do you guys think? Does anyone actually try to straighten these? Seems frames readily available and fairly cheap on egay (except for the shipping costs).

Sorry, pics sorta blurry, just have camera on phone.

thats where they always bend lol, scrap it and get a new one.

you can try to make it straight but you will never be 100 percent straight again.

thanks, yeah I think I am going to get a different frame.

 

[AcidRayn]

[Andy]

Interested, what year, any pics, price? Thanks!

 

[sheeblast]

i have one that is 02 or older. located in ohio. but i assume you want a newer one.

 

[Andy]

thanks for offering but yeah I kinda wanted 03+ just to make things easier with swap.

 

[AcidRayn]

It's an o2. Check you pms. And pm me your email.
I'm at work and can't post pics here with my iphone

Aren't the 02-03 frame exactly the same? Just the 03 has disc brakes

 

[sheeblast]

the 03 has a mount for the rear hydro already on it.

K. Brakes are WAYYYY OVER rated anyway.

You want an 03-06 frame.Don't settle for an 88-02 frame.Also consider buying a gusset kit and have it welded in,you will never have that problem again.

I agree. even my 03 frame is pretty 86'ed.... the newer the frame the better shape it will be in. And also 100000% agree about gussets, I will never run a un-gusseted frame ever again.

ya get the 03+ frame. and dont listen to the retard acid, his quad is like those workout bikes, never moves.

 

[Andy]

thanks yeah gussets sound like the way to go, do you guys just make your own or use one of these kits.... found some from a place called Tarantula Performance?

yeah if I could just get better at the long wheelies I'd be all setI:I

WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM? are like 10 yrs old? Seriously. What do you know about me or my bike? My bike is a raptor. Runs like a champ. The blaster was a build from a basket case to teach my son how to build and repair a bike. I didn't run out to the dealer and buy him one.
You post no pics. You bash everyone here. Do you even have a ride?
Really. How old are you?
