As a lot of you will have seen from the other thread I bought a TDM900 with a FUCKED front end from eBay. Best part the mileage! 872!

I picked it up today, minorly disappointed with it as a few bits I had hoped where OK were actually knacker but that's my fault for being optimistic. (Rad has been hole and a couple of other minor bits.)

The plan was too use my current 13 year old bike to build to this however that might not be that straight forward...

I cannot believe the whack it as taken, it has not only smashed and bent the forks but it has, cracked the wheel and bent the Spindle!

Gaffer tape to stop the fairing flapping!

The good fork!

The bad fork, it's stuck gonna have to remove the yokes

Now the problem...

Do you think this is repairable? It doesn't go all the way through. I intend on doing it properly getting it to Motoliner probably and put in a jig, I'm hoping the frame isn't scrap, barring this, the side panel and a bent foot rest which is easily straighten from the yokes bad it's more or less mint. For various reasons, I would much rather move to this new frame than move stuff over to my own one.

Having a think maybe it can be bored out and then a replacement piece made to press fit in.

My triple was crashed in to a wall at an unknown speed and it's literally blew the front wheel to pieces Sad

With the frame... id say you aresafer using yours but if you trust motoliner.... go with them.

STONEY! · Brolly Dolly Joined: 14 Sep 2005 Karma :

you got a bargain with this! I have an export guy that would pay a lot more for it than you paid.

Pity about the frame, fingers crossed its repairable.

I had a snipe set up for it at £1566.66 with the idea of punting it out for export at £2000-2200.

Its surprising what the export guys will pay sometimes and also what they will repair!

I had a cbr600f 2002 with 8500miles on it last year, had been in a big crash, snapped forks/frame/crankcases/swingarm/front wheel one side of bodywork gone and a few other little bits. They paid £1400 for it and where planning on repairing it too!

No worries dude, will be watching the build Smile

Frames unrepairable according to motoliner, I trust in their expertise. I need to decide what I do now Confused

Maybe just sell it to Stoney and let him move it on is the easiest option?

Nah I want the engine Laughing

Trying to decide weather I strip mine, PC the frame Black then rebuild using the best bits of both, OR just lob the engine in mine.

The headstock pic makes it hard to determine exactly what the damage is. Looks like the seat is mangled from the steering tube getting bent and turning the bearings in the seats. what exactly is the problem there?

Ah gotcha.

Be brutal. Chop your headstock off. Weld to new one. Bam Laughing

Pete. · Super Spammer Joined: 22 Aug 2006 Karma :

The smashed seat isn't such a big deal you could weld that and machine it back to re-make a seat. The concern I would have is that it seems to have a vertical crack on the left hand side.

If you're seriously thinking of repairing it I would spend a few quid on a dye penetrant testing kit and check the headstock thoroughly for cracks.

EDIt: Cheaper kit £8

You already have a good frame on your other bike. Why even try to build up on a frame with quite significant damage.

Build what suits you, rather than what may be worth more on paper. You're going to keep it for years while you further develop your sick fetish for tedium. Once older bikes are banhammered out of central London, you might finally be persuaded to move on from parallel twins.

STONEY! · Brolly Dolly Joined: 14 Sep 2005 Karma :

If it where me I would build the bike up on the old frame (presuming it is in good order and the same) with new bearings and fresh grease/copperslip where needed, coat it in ACF50, fit braided lines nice exhaust, sort the suspension to suit you etc basically make a really good TDM.

Then sell what remains, the frame although fucked will still make good money I recon.

STONEY! · Brolly Dolly Joined: 14 Sep 2005 Karma :

oh and take lots of pictures of both the damaged bike and yours during the rebuild to show what has been done both as a record for yourself and if you decide to sell so you have proof. maybe even keep a copy of his ebay listing and the invoice to you etc.

chris-red · Have you considered a TDM? Joined: 21 Sep 2005 Karma :

I've had a closer look with a light, it doesn't appear to be a crack, There are casting marks on both sides I think it is just that. For repairing the seat any idea where would do that and roughly what I'd pay?
