Braced frame, one of Roger's old ones

Post by freeridenick »

Braced in the usual places. Striped and powder coated a couple of years ago. All the bolts were replated in bright zinc. Data tagged with most of the rest of the kit still present. V5 in my name.

£300 ono, + P&P.

Hi Nick, to keep in with our Forum rules can you please add a price? and state if p&p is extra or included?
I am guessing this slipped your mind :)

Oooh. This is going to get me in trouble.
Ok, if no-one else is interested - give it a few weeks - I'll pay you £220 and this would start me back on the Firestorm tuning track.
It's been an itch I'm trying not to scratch for a while.
I can build a scrap engine into a 120 bhp unit, and if I stuff a usd Blade fork set and a set of lightweight 6 spokes and a decent set of calipers and discs I might just chop the Tuono in.....
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

You'd better grab that Penske shock whilst you are there.
and maybe a braced swinging arm. :thumbup:

I thought the frame had the ears already, as well as the headstock bracing, but it doesn't.
I should have looked more carefully at the pics.
Apologies, Nick, I hope you find a buyer. It's a good starting point for a project.

Good luck with the sale nick, that frame has a lot of extra bracing on the inside to close off all the open cast parts.

Tony, I think the spondon ears were subsequently proven to Not be the solution to the problem they were added to fix, and the frame didn’t need them to deal with superbike racing on slicks. Perhaps Roger can add his wisdom
