Frame straightening

Hi

When i came to bolt up the two parts of my frame i found that the rear section is out of shape. If i push through the mounting studs i find that they dont line up with their 'partner' hole on the other side.

My question is has anyone had to deal with this and does anyone know a way that i can straighten the rear section to get it all back in line again?

Thanks.

Re: Frame straightening

Hi Brandon,

Take another look at the article I send you. I had the same problem. That rear section is "whippy", but if you alighn it side to side, it works out.

The only connection between the two sides is that cross piece aft of the seat. Unless a "leg" of that frame is bent, everything will be parallel based on the cross member.

Cheers,

Robb

PS: There is a measured diagram included.
