It's probably only on the left side because it's a kick stand issue. This is good news I guess because it means the stresses of riding aren't causing the damage which means regular riding is less likely to make the problem worse. I need to find someone with an angle grinder and a MIG welder now. _____________________________ 1989 CBR600 F1 Hurricane (in reply to thrasher572) Post #: 31

I've got the whole thing apart to redo all the plastic and now I've found this. Should be easy to fix I guess. (in reply to dalex) Post #: 34

The crack in the last frame above resembles the frame in my friends bike for length, but the crack extends from engine mount not upper spar. (in reply to tripicana) Post #: 41
