Project Phoenix

can the frame be fixed? Is it just the broken weld?

Matt

Wow....you can really see how bent those forks are now

Matt....from what i saw it was the weld that was damaged, but i dont think blue is going to risk it.

Bearing in mind there is a gap, the frame needs to be jigged and welded, that's gonna get real expensive real quick ... also if it has bent that far out of true to produce a gap, its hard to determine the stresses that have gone through other welds etc ...

Its probably best financially and from peace of mind point of view to throw it in the bin and start again

How much would you be after for the rear left hand plastic Blue?

Glad your not selling the frame on ebay with V5

This is one of my concerns of eBay stuff ... one mans 'straight' is another mans banana … and then you just get the crooks

I'll take some pics, look up the going rate and let you know

The RHS does have some scuffing BTW, but it structurally intact

Interesting if foolish project, but its entertaining and I wish you the best of luck!

I have a Fuel race can you can have on the cheap. It's a bolt-on so would need the convertor plate, but £15 from bandit mania will get you the plate.

PM me & we shall discuss more if you're interested.

Had a day off today ... got loads of stuff done (work really gets in the way doesn't it!! ) anyway, one of this 'stuff' is that I managed to patch up the original fairing ... good job I like jigsaws!!

Tape all the pieces back together (yes, there were a lot of cracks/breaks





And fiberglass from the inside ...



Job done, one track fairing!!

Are you going to glass over or fill the light holes with something?
