Anyone have any leads on where I can find a frame?
This isnt going well...went from paint to needing a frame? Sounds like an accident. Hopefully nobody was hurt. Is this the photobombers bike?Anyone have any leads on where I can find a frame?
Yikes $1400 stinksDonna has 12 in stock, $1400 shipped. This is the bike I fixed the frame crack in last year. My fix still looks good, but it's broke about 3'' further up, where the trans mount is welded to the frame on both sides. I can cut the back of the tube off and drive a solid rod up in the frame and plug weld it, but if I can find a frame for less the Donna has, I think that would be the best option.
It cracked on both sides?View attachment 49602

Oh, and here's something else I found. Belt pulley was tight, but at some point in it's life it had been loose.

The shipping can't be cheap.I think. $1400 is fair
Sorry, I do think $1400 is fair. But it still hurts the butt a bit. Then ya gotta add the paint labor to move all the parts.The shipping can't be cheap.
Wouldn't disagree there...thats kinda why I'm Curious to know if this mastiff frame is a BDM Frame.I wouldn't go cheap on the frame. Quality and track record would be my driving factors.
Should be able to tell by the vin will have a 'B'I believe it is a BDM frame. I know it's not a DT or RT. The upper motor mount bolt goes through the frame and threads into an aluminum cone shaped nut.
You mean the bike? I’d hate myself selling a bike to some poor bastard knowing the frame is toast... if you sell the bike stating it has a broken frame the value of the bike is nothing...You guys think $1,400 for a frame is high? I have never bought one but how many times can you fix that frame for that amount of money. I realize there are other cost involved such as paint and labor to build the new bike. Maybe it's time to part that one out and look at something else.
How do I get ahold of Donna looking for a frame myself thanks in advanceDonna has 12 in stock, $1400 shipped. This is the bike I fixed the frame crack in last year.

I do believe Frank was saying to part the bike out, not sell it. Put yo grasses on ol man,You mean the bike? I’d hate myself selling a bike to some poor bastard knowing the frame is toast... if you sell the bike stating it has a broken frame the value of the bike is nothing...
