frame dimensions

[DavePlum]

Tried the search function on this site and goggled it but came up empty. Does anyone know where I can get the frame dimensions on a 80SG?

Hey Dave,

What dimensions specifically are you looking for??? Most likely someone will just have to MEASURE what you're looking for once you tell us.

Looking for the distance from the rear shock mounting point (or any reference point) to where the rear fender attaches to each side of the frame. I have a 80SG that was "bobbed" and the frame was cut and I would like to take it back to original. I also have an uncut donor frame with no title that I planned on using, I could measure it but I lack confidence my measurement would be accurate enough that the mounting holes on the rear fender would line up perfect with a recently added frame extension (if that's the right phrase). I was hoping someone might have a drawing with dimensions that was supplied by Yamaha.

You could use a piece of cardboard and make a template from the non-titled frame using the top shock mount bolt hole and another reference point to transfer to your chopped frame GL

You could make a plywood/wood pattern that fits the good frame. I did that when I shortened my side/center stand. Bolt the plywood to shock bolt, cut wood blocks to fit each side of frame. Sounded good a minute ago.

Thanks for the suggestions, I hate to cut up a perfectly good frame to do this but if push comes to shove I will. I'm also considering keeping it bobbed but I just hate the seat, rear fender, and brake light/ turn signal setup that was on this bike. (notice I said "was"...lol) I just picked it up on Friday so plenty time and things to do before I have to make the decision as to which route I'll go.
Thanks again
