thanks saga

lol, you need to do a longwaite for the search to work right....

i cant do it.. sags is refering to the thicknes of the pipe buddy... how thick or thin the pipe is... cut length wys and welded to the top/bottom of the frame...

 

[SGONE]

sorry man yeah i meant wall as in thickness i think the pipe i used was around 3-4mm thick

Yer I sorta understood that but more pics would be good lol
I searched and got old threads that pol just say to re enforce it but don't say how or anything...
Was there a thread inparticular you know of?
Thanks for ya help too!

Ok and as you guys said cut it lenght ways...
U mean mark it out and cut wit a grinder?
If so... I use 1mm discs and they are great for cutting steel and I always use them for cutting so still use em for this?
Cheers

search words were 'frame bracing'
http://www.miniriders.com.au/mini-chat/18532-how-u-reforce-your-frame.html?highlight=frame+bracing

but alas.. RMR50's pics are just red x's maybe PM him and see if he still has the images, and if so, wants to reupload to the site, or he can email them to me and will stick em on the 'bucket for future referance.

all good, shux an here I was thinkin otherwise

just that half the relative topics have become defunct due to members moving on, loosing 'bucket' accounts etc.. im sure others will have pics of how to reinforce thou.. there is also a sik50? kit available i think.. another thread suggested cutting the frame at the stem and using a length of pipe inside the frame.. then having it rewelded.. different approach again..

Get to bed buddy.. you will think better with rest n a clear head

 

[mattbombers]

Lol prob do need some sleep(first time mattbombers needs sleep)
il look into It more tomoz
thanks again

Mattybomber take a look at the backbone and headstem on the old 04 Thumpy frames... these things have a fair amount of reinforcing, and took a fair bit of a beating "back in the day"....
You can see where the box-section was welded to the backbone top and bottom...

dude i think youd be bettert of just to buy a cheep crf50, buy the time you do all work and get parts you will hav problly spent more?
Just an idea, hav ya actully done some figures?
oh is a few more bracing points on frame ya can do as well, try find ya a pic

 

[mini mullisha]

not the best pic but can see the triangler plate infront of engine mounts

and bit better angle

they aslo weld bars to support subframe and weld bit across back so the end of frame is boxed off sdo theres not to round hollow bars sticking out haha
oh 1st pics is my bike when i got new!

hey, yer i have done some sums...
trust me itl be cheaper this way, and i would rather have it as a project then just buying one readly lol.
thanks for the bracing idea!!!

 

[mattbombers]

ok, diddnt go to the china man... got it off a local bloke.
its a new crf50 style frame and i got a steal swingarm siting here too.
i think it would be best to get some one like an engineer? to weld it as it turns out we dont have a 15 amp plug at my house lol.
who would weld things?
like which professions?
i would be making the braces and things so they just need to put it on.
cheers

 

[byh0005]

give a call to your local engineer they most likely do it

 

[mattbombers]

thats what my dad suggested but he wernt sure.
kk thanks mate that confims it

 

[byh0005]

that allright got probs if they cant do it

 

[mattbombers]

ok, heres the new frame:

the diff between old and new

the paint im gunna use after reinforced ( 12 bucks from bunnings and comes up nice in a test it did

and i was gunna go 12/12 wheels so got a 12 front but might go 12/14 lol

whats every1s thorts?

 

[wogtaz ryder]

10" 12" or dont bother . thats my only thoughts

And what you pay for that frame?
