Topic: What's wrong with my center stand??

[newday777]

Hello guys,

My frame looks exactly as show below. Its "twisted".
Do you have any idea how it can be fixed? Any experience?
Should I cut it off and weld again?

...please take a look UNDER the frame where the center stand is mounted.

Hope it isn't looking like this 

Good luck...Georg

Maybe it's from the wrong bike or bent or I don't know but it rotates waay to far forward making it really difficult to get the bike off the center stand - not to mention it doesn't raise the rear wheel off the ground.

So I read through this thread and see the picture above that you referred to. This is what your frame looks like? I took a screenshot of the picture.
That is a rusted and twisted frame member. Did you read through all the replies to get an idea of what you need to do?
Yes it will need to be cut out and properly replaced with a good section off a donor frame to repair it properly. Are you able to so and do you have a good donor frame?

Thank you for reply. I'll have to find another frame. I hoped it may be fixed somehow as it od. That's bad news.

I didn't see looking through your posts an introduction in the new members section.

Where are you located? What bike do you have?
I have a Wall of Frame.... some that can be cut up.

You don't have to cut a frame, just go an get an Chrom-Molybdän pipe and weld it in.

Good luck...Georg

 I had a K frame like that, but worse because it had sat settled into the dirt in a barn near some chloride. It was also eaten up in the main lower tubes. I got out the sawzall and saved some of the top pieces. You could probably cut some tube in halves and clad it if the rest of the frame looks good.
