hey guys is there anyway this can be saved and put back to stock ? it says its a 50s pre unit frame !

 

[vtwinmotors]

I would say yes. I have done alot of Harley frames so I am sure somebody out there does Triumph repair.

 

[rustybill]

Just so you know... that's a '56+ Triumph swingarm frame with the subframe hacked off. Numbers are most likely butchered too.

I would think that for the cost to fix you could buy a good one

With a little patience you should be able to take it back to stock. I would use a thin kerf cutoff blade on an angle grinder and cut through the weld beads in order to remove the extension. Then clean it all up. You will need access to a fixture to get it back straight and at the correct rake.

any turd can be polished,but sometimes it makes sense to get a different one,unless you are or know someone who can do it cheaply

 

[Unkl Ian]

I bought one like that recently, for $20.

 

[motorpsycho]

How bad you want to keep it?

Save that for a date with a weld on hard tail. It appears to be a '59.
