    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hello all-
I was wondering if anyone happens to know where I can get a weld on hardtail section or of a shop that will hardtail a '78 GS750. Unfortunately, I don't have the proper equiptment to build one myself. Although i possibly can get access to a welder. Thanks, Static616
 
It would be helpful if you let us know where in the world you live.

There is a guy where I live that will do it for you. Tho shipping might be a bit of an expense! Depends on where ya are!
 
Welder and a hacksaw is about what most of these frame cutters use.
Maybe a hammer, too.
A few might even have a tape measure.
 
No one makes a weldon hard tail kit per say. The best you can hope for is to have a shop near by that has the gear and know how to do the job correct. And to answer the comment about "frame cutters" only hack jobs are done that way. There are far more doing it the right way.
If we knew where ya lived it may help. And you can check out thechopperunderground for some friendly advice about your project. You can also look into the way Im chopping mine. Im keeping the swingarm intact and working while dropping the over all ride 6". Let us know the direction you plan on.

I think you're being overly generous in your assessments.
 
Well i am building a bike now with a hard tail. I also own a shop in east tn. If you search the forum look for rat bike wanna be lol. I have a new bender coming so i will be changing the whole frame before it is over. My bike will be done sometime this spring (i hope). Lets keep the fingers crossed. I having new triple trees made and neck assy so maybe I can produce one for the ones that would like to have a ridged frame. Just a thought.
 
standard bike in Davenport,IA
making freestyle competition bicycles for years

they have begun to make dragbike frames

frame table and proper TIG fabrication
not garage cheap

A complete frame would be better - I have a kz1000 80% done
