asprin Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I got into a pretty bad wreck recently. Locked up my front tire and went down. The frame on the left side snapped where it connects to the engine. It also broke the bolt away from the engine case. I've uploaded pictures. If I wanted to part the bike out, is the engine salvageable with this damage? I'm guessing not but wanted to ask anyways. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/wSFK1InOsfVcYSZZGt4GxJW_zXCyOyIGD8Lyn3Zi4mrhT10_2dWids4_NdBKZpze3_8-GSNIWnp73kRLyLAPgjSxAJ7I-9OdujqNLtMbAbsYwa3Suno9LkIp7HtrotDR7GW0QxeRxA=w1662-h2214-no https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/47dgzIfadDwVkqgozoFza410N1noVcGG9Tj4oXk7baEkrKMx57s7xzvicXLnUIssdd8MdbvTR_G4WfWtWI9shBfh8MbXYlWw0TONHvyIfR-bBjtXj1yqNOqZ9XSJgkUsMcJvAvsRKQ=w1662-h2214-no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twf Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 It can be welded or head replaced. That is exact reason I am not big fan of frame sliders, they can do more harm than good sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTATT, two acronyms I live by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
