hard crashes??? What cage have you used since you started?

T-NECK

not so mach hard crashes...had one decent one special K to kill switch combo where she barrel rolled a couple times with a 905 cage, but other then that just your normal drops. I now run a new style FI cage. ive pancaked a few HC O's as well on the 905.

Yeah same here had one that barrell rolled twice and other than that some drops from 12 with the 905 maybe like 4-7 drops

Not polishing so much as chroming. I have heard that the high temps needed to make the chrome adhere to the metal weakens it. I know a guy local here looped a gixxer 750...and it was all chromed out. I know the bike basically shattered. Rims, swingarm, frame, steering head, etc...everything was broken or cracked...and all of it chromed.

T-NECK

yeah that may have been it.

the cast parts of the frame can be weakened from polishing. this is because cast is always thickest from the surface. If you polish it, you remove the thickest part.

Actually polishing makes some parts more stronger. but they are not cast parts. more like machined parts where the machininh grooves can start the crack, but when it's polished there is no more grooves where the crack can start. so it's stronger.

i was wondering what a clear titled frame costs

I just bought a new frame from the dealer. I had hookup and it was like $800. I still gotta get the VIN stamped

I think Armenian got one from the dealer, and I don't think it was much. I remember working at a bike shop years ago and having to get a HD frame. Had to cut the neck off and send it to them, and it was like $1500 for the frame...took forever to get it in, I do remember that.

Did Kawi's make the frames stronger on the 05-06?

JMZ

Ive heard they are weaker

you ever have a "sneeze-fart"?????? I hear those will absolutely DESTROY gixxer subframes if you sneeze-fart while doing a sitdown, and have been known to blast the fronts off of kawasuki frames if you sneeze-fart doing tank tricks!
