Frame difference?

[Peter1230]

ehhh sounds a bit dodgy.

 

[Prater999]

yer thats wat i was thinkin, well 2morrow i'm going 2 pick up my pegs from slingshot suzuki in shepp so i'll ask if they sell frames

 

[Prater999]

ok so i went into the local pitbike store 2day, they said they would strengthen my frame 4 about 60 bucks and they would c wat they could do about straightning it, the bend isnt that bad anyway and i would rather spend 60 gettin strengthend than 500 4 a new frame haha.

And i only paid 1200 4 the bike with all the shit on it so either way its a ****in steal

 

[wogtaz ryder]

bend it back straight ... which is pretty dodge in the first place . but just make sure there is lots of support for it , because after bending it back its gonna bend again twice as easy.

Bend it back straight , cut the frame ,add steel tube inside the main tube and then some braces on top and below the main tube.

 

[Prater999]

i been reading a few things off the net and a guy on here a few years ago said to cut the neck just under the tank and shove a peice of steel pipe in there, this may straighten the frame once its re welded? opinions?

yer thats wat i ment in this, do u reckon its a good idea? i'll c wat the guys in the store think

 

[Peter1230]

yeh give it ago..
let them know u want some serious strengthening done.

Or the jump you hit will eat ur face off

 

[Prater999]

haha i did that on my pitbike, my throttle cable snapped on the face of the up ramp on our brand new double n i smashed into the base of the down ramp and flipped the bike n flew 5 meters haha it hurts

 

[Peter1230]

yeahh its not nice!

Wouldnt want it to happen again!

 

[Prater999]

haha nope, but the bend isnt that bad, it still jumps good but while i'm getting it strengthnd i might as well get it straightend

its not like i paid fck loads 4 it, $1200 means i got more money 2 spend on doin shit 2 it lol

Is this your bike here cant believe you got that for 1200 i brought mine stock for 1700

 

[Prater999]

Is this your bike here cant believe you got that for 1200 i brought mine stock for 1700

yup haha thats the 1

i got the frame strengthend 2day 4 60 bucks so i should b set

 

[bradisfun]

could you get some pics up of the strengthened frame? cheers mate

 

[Prater999]

its nothing 2 drastic just a bar above the frame coz the drz motor is harder 2 fit a brace around and it would have cost me 200 if he wanted 2 do more but they have done this loads of times and 2 worse frames than mine and none have ever bent or snapped, its not like i'm doing massive bmx jumps anyway so yer

 

[bradisfun]

no bmx jumps? D:
hehe ive seen people do full FMX jumps on crf50s....

 

[Prater999]

haha well this is about as bmx as our track goes, its about 6ft high and the gaps about 20ft, we got a burm runnin through it if it will stop fuccking raining i'll get pics of the rest of the track so far it still a work in progress but

let us know wat u think, keep in mind we only started riding 50's late last year but i have been riding big bikes since i could walk lol

 

[bradisfun]
