I've been offered a Zxr400 frame that needs to be checked and probably 'tweaked' at the head stock.
Is there anyone in the Brisbane/Qld area that can do this well ??
Is this still legal ??
And what is a reasonable price for a frame like this ??...I haven't got a clue....He's asked me to make an offer..

What Chris said Sharky ^^^
I had Dave Kellett straighten my ZX9 frame - he's pretty thorough.
I've heard both good and bad, but he is the only one i know of in brisbane
He straightened warhounds 750F frame too, straighter than the factory. I know a lot of the race blokes use him after a stack.

Cheers fellas. The problem I have is that I don't have the 400 engine. I spoke to Dave Kellet about it and, as I thought, there is little he can do without the motor in the frame apart from a basic check....
The area in question on the frame is around the compliance plate...

Will this have affected the headstock ?
He wants $250 for the frame....
Maybe I should offer less due to the colour.[:0]

Looks like it's had a frontal impact and would have pushed the bottom of the headstock back which in turn will decrease the rake.
