I'v got a lovely sp frame and swingarm that is a low miles race chassis, super clean with original stickers just looks good. I'd like to build it up with a 600 motor and the other bits from my tired old rr.

Thing is its got a ding on the widest part of the frame where its been down the road at some point. I think it would annoy me a bit so before I think about using it is there anyway of getting this removed??

Is that why you want the frame protectors ???

Mine was like it where the bar end had dented the frame



I put covers on it

i've filled and repainted a swingarm that was the same as that, used filler and some 'aluminium' (holts paint i think it was) that was a near perfect match to the frame, sanded smooth and lacquered you couldn't see it at all.

It is possible to get the dent removed. I don't know exactly how it's done, but I have looked into this kind of thing in the past.

There's a bloke on Pb forum who can do this kind of work and I found a couple of websites for places that claim they can when I looked into it.

I have a dent in my frame,I think the only way to do this would be to cut a piece out of the back of the frame so that you can get a dollie inside,remove dent then weld the piece back in,well that's what i'm going to do.

Or fill the dent with aluminium and get it taken back to a factory finish? Would that work?

drill it, tap it and use a slide hammer.
Then fill it

Take a picture before and after, if you sell it it's better to disclose the dent.

Thanks! Yea that is why i wanted covers but the getting the dents out might make it a bit more worth it as its got no v5 or plate, allot of effort if its not perfect.

Where did you get the covers evil chicken? They are the kind I would like, black.

I got them off e-bay a while ago.
A16 used to advertise them but you couldn't actually buy them from the website.

that's the best way to take a ding out off a box section,
but it will never pull out perfectly
so you'll end up with filler or a cover of some kind anyway
there's some nice foam pads i've seen on an fzr that are designed to fit where your ding is (wonder why) there about 3" x 2" and oval shaped
sure i saw them on here somewhere have a search
