My junk R5

Squish set..

Those ports are beautiful.  It is seriously hard to get the rear transfers right.  Looks like JR did a really nice job.

So I'm getting my frame sorted..
Looking over the seat mounts on one frame .. I notice the mounts are nor the same. One looks straight off the frame, the front mount looks like its headed uphill.
Is this right or is one tweaked?

[soonerbillz]

Also.. how wide is the tang on the headstock? And does it go over the lower bearing race?
I have to replace it.. and need to know .

It would take a hard hit to knock that fork stop off the headstock. Better check the frame is not tweaked.

I thought that too.. but the frame seems not so. I did some measurements off the headstock.

as shown, its the same width as the tabs that stick out. ive replaced them before, used 1/4" thick stock.

Thanks all.. got the frame tab squared away.. well I will next week after I get my 220v finished in the shop.
But here is my conundrum:
I have 2 frames .. a title but butchered as in the po cut all the tabs off this frame.  Seat, battery, oil tank and a few others.
My other is complete except that broken fork stop.. and no title or even a bill of sale.. if you remember I pulled this from a closed salvage.
What to do?? what to do..

[soonerbillz]

So here is my solution..
I won't be using the butchered frame for street use.. so I removed the head stock numbers and restamped them for my good title.
Not the most kosher way.. but in this situation..I think its fine.
After I get the tab fixed..the frame blasted and painted I'll take the out of state title and the frame to the police and have them inspect it..
Then get a clean new title.
If they lock me up I'll only have you guys to thank😁

So here is my solution..
I won't be using the butchered frame for street use.. so I made sure that the number on the headstock matches the title.

Fixed it for you, but smooth down the grinding marks from where you were "cleaning up, the OEM welds"....

I have both a good set of yds7 & r5 cases.
So it's pretty simple to choose the r5 set for my build.
