The frame has some scratches on the left side and a big dent on the right side. If you look at the close up pictures of the dent you will see that there is a crack next to the factory weld. As you know the frame also serves as a fuel tank on these bikes so if you fill it up all the way, fuel with leak out of the crack. In order to ride the bike, I had patched the crack with urethane based silicone so it would not leak but I removed the silicone in order to take the pictures so that buyers could see the the damage better. I would advise that the crack be welded rather than siliconed back up in order to permanently and safely fix the problem. although I have seen better looking frames, this one is straight. I have ridden the bike for a year using this frame with no issues at all. The geometry of the frame has not been affected in the wreck. This frame is perfect if you need a good straight frame with a legit vin number for track or stunt use. The reason I am selling it is that I purchased a clean title frame and I now have no use for this one anymore.
