750f frame help!
« on: June 18, 2015, 01:28:53 PM »
I can't find any information on this except on one website... I chopped the rear of my frame in prep for the rear hoop, and inside the frame tube there seems to be an additional metal sleeve... That website I mentioned says its for added strength in the pinched ends and to fold it in on itself with a chisel until it falls out... Mine seem to be really in there and I can't see in deep enough with a light to see just how deep they go... Are they attached somewhere or something on the f model? They just do not want to come loose at all!

I can make you some real trick blended end caps that won't just be a cap it's like a triangle and lays flush with a after market seat pan

Thanks for the offer but I have a rear seat hoop already, those sleeves were just gonna be in the way of the slugs so I tried to get them out with no success... Anybody have experience with these?

^How are you gonna get a grinder in there?!?
If it's worth doing, it's worth doing twice.

1/4 inch burr, about 1 1/2 long, notch it top and bottom, the pound the rest inward....
How long is the slug?

It was hard to be sure about the length as no flashlight could reach deep enough to see and all my pick tools weren't long enough, the only thing that gave me a general idea was a telescoping magnet tool and from where I cut (about a cm from where the shock mount triangle metal meets the tube) there was still about 6inches inside... Plus the the stuff on the other side of the cut which seemed to go all the way to the pinch!

What I ended up doing is yesterday I put some wd40 wherever I could squeeze it in the tube and then today I just got a socket that was just smaller than the inside diameter of the frame tube and hammered that sob back enough to where my slug will sit equally on each side of the joint. So for future F2 frame choppers, if you can't pull it out, you gotta just drive it in!! Words to live by!
