Frame differences

Postby stans48s » Sat Feb 09, 2019 1:30 pm

My 48 125 came complete, but the frame has been repaired in the neck area. Not a pretty job. I can remove the repair and start over. I have another frame that is not repaired, and looks good I can use. Are the frames somewhat the same, do they have numbers to identify the year made. On other motorcycles it's always good to have a matching numbers bike. Your thoughts? Stan

any motor will fit any frame. The 48/49 models had a welded on tube for a neck 50 and later models had a pinned and brazed on neck

In the banner at the top of the page click on "How To Restore", then find "Chapter 04 - Frames" and click there for an explanation of different model & year frames.
