My Frame is shot

[Sledhead]

I finally got my parts back from being blasted. It was only a week but seems like an enterinty when you want them. You can really see all the cracks and rewelds on the frame. I didn't think it was this bad but now with the paint off it's shit. I dont know if I should take it to a weld shop or try and find a diff frame. Any ideas were I can get a good used frame. I've seen a few on sleeze bay but would hate to get *ucked and get another shit frame.

Wait and find a frame locally, or buy a Yamaha. Haha kiddin, I'd say your best bet would be e-bay. Post a wanted ad on here too, someone may have a spare frame lying around in a shed or something

I was watching that one on ebay, got back on tonight and the seller removed it.***Basterd*** Thats how my luck goes. I think I might take it to the welding shop and have them fix it. I just wanted it to look original when I put it back together. Im sure they can do a good joob for the $200 it would cost me for a used frame.

Not only the frame, big surprise. I also got my motor blasted and I noticed the stator case was pealing when I was taking the motor apart. IT IS FULL OF BONDO So was the case next to the sproket. Guess the chain came off a liilte hard HUH. This is the first time I have ever seen bondo on a fricking motor and of corse its now my motor. What a pecker head! Back to ebay I need more parts ***THE NEVER ENDING FIXER UPPER*** But it could be worse, it could be four stroke poke!

haha i know how you feel my 91 is the same way one thing after another unless a shop has a frame jig speciallyfor your bike it will never be perfectly straight again but if your just trail riding not racing it may be close enough

haha hell ive been working on my 87' for almost 3 years now saying its almost done.
its a never ending process. it was my 15th birthday present from mom and dad it looked like crap it didn't even run. after a couple thousand dollars i got it running and looking decent it still looks close to stock. except for the swingarm plastics and seat. somtimes i wish i would gave got a banshee but then again....

[Sledhead]

I dont know what its like in your area but banshee's are very easy to come buy around here. I've only seen a handfull of lt250r's or lt500r's. I like the fact that nobody else that I run with has a bike like mine (when its finished and running someday) . I got the springs all painted and ready to ship out sometime next week to have my shocks rebuilt hopefully that will go well. Primered the frame except were it needs to be welded & I'll drop that off next week too if I get time

theres a few in good shape used lt250r frames on ebay right now, take a look
