Snapped my frame

nin73 · May 7th, 2006, 11:02 PM

As the subject states i have snapped the frame on my 04 FS 650!

Got a couple of questions:-

1. Should it get it welded? The break is by the headstock about 10mm above where the two smaller diameter pipes join to it.
2. I have sourced a frame from a 03 fx 650, will this fit?

Thanks

DON't buy the older frame! it has a different headstock angle and will change the character of your bike backwards!

if you value development over money saving you'll find another way!

please show us phots as requested.

It can likely be welded, and even improved! Gotta see those pics. BD

Taf, You make me feel so inferior plus I still cant make a link

I dont know what the head angle is or how much modfication is needed but it IS a Husaframe

this is what i have permanently written on a scrap of paper to the right of me on my clip board:

link so all you do is at the end then the words you want to appear in blue as the link then you finish with

clear as mud?

Re: Frame cracking.

Have not heard of it in the headstock location, but personally know of 1 04 FE650 cracking frame by RHS footpeg.

When discussing it with a 'Berg dealer as it was a warranty claim from memory it turned out that it was not an isolated incident although not common.
