Wanted Frame Section Wanted

I have need for a short length of frame tubing in order to repair a rusted section on my XJ. A 4" length of the lower frame rail would be ideal. I could make a peice of the rear subframe work should any of the bobber builders have the no-longer-needed back end of their machine sitting around. The hole I have is small and could be fixed with material that I have on hand, but I have a thing for keeping the bike all Yamaha (and using the same grade of steel makes the repair easier).

 

Ya know--!?!?!? It becomes even funnier When the conversation went like this:
"what are you saving THAT for?!?!?"
"Because somebody might need it!"
"Yeah,.......riiiiigghhhttt, honey---- It's junk, throw it out!"

Tell me what section you need!!

Let's see, it's a specific size and grade, perhaps even tempered, alloy steel tube, of a uniform size and shape, jig-bent and welded to exact specifications, with all kinds of specially formed, die-stamped (5-ton? 10-ton presses?) specific and precise bracketry, also jig-aligned and welded into a precise placement.

Yep, that's the definition of junk alright, especially in a thriving market that needs replacement parts on a regular basis.

Me? I'd rather collect beanie babies and "rare" scented candles!

 

Dave,

If shipping isn't too high I would be very happy with the entire section that is in the left of your picture. I really just need about 4 to 6" of the left lower frame tube if you want to keep the rest of it for some later use. Shipping would be to 67801.


Len,

I have parts for garden tractors that haven't been made for 40 years, and that I haven't even owned one of in 7. Some day I will get to pass them on to a body in need.

 

i have the side stand section with the side stand tab. maybe 4 inches to either side of the tab, it's been awhile since i looked at it

 

K-moe.....I'll get a box and start figuring it out for ya.

Dave F

 

Thanks Dave.

Polock, If Dave's section won't work out for shipping I'd be interested in yours.

 

Heck, get 'em both ---,you could become the Southwest parts hoarder..... Lol. All we néed now is a central USA parts hoarder..... Got all the others covered, I think --

Dave

 

I'm more central than southwest. Our house is just 1,000 or so feet west of the eastern edge of The Great American Desert.

 

I just figured you were on the other side of it.... Lol

 

k-moe. I have a spare 1982 xj650 maxim frame.

It is pretty clean, and already pretty much stripped down.

If you're interested, it comes with a clean title as well.

( Also, greyhound is a solid shipment method, and mostlikely would be the cheapest. )

 

I have several frames hanging from the rafters one with a title with just this in mind. I see dave already beat me to the post.

 

Thank you all for the kind offers. Hogfiddles has set me up with the section of frame that I need.
