Upper seat post casting

#1

Post by j**r**m »

Howdy,

I'm looking for a upper seat post casting that the post goes through so I can have a wishbone frame restored.

Not having too much luck.....

I understand that they are not being reproduced anymore. Can anyone steer me in the right direction or have one laying around that they can live without??

Thanks Gentlemen,

Jim

Have you tried Race Frame Engineering in Australia?

Steve at raceframe is still experiencing ross river fever and is not selling frame parts.
Steve has been a big help to me in the past and I hope he recovers, I also need frame parts.
In the mean time Vtwin has stopped selling frame parts since July 2013 for reasons unknown, they are still selling reporduction frames and I am about to the point of buying one and disassembling for parts.

Perhaps these people could help you out with frame parts http://vgmotorcycle.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
They are in Germany. I have no experience of their work but German standards are pretty high. Maybe one of our European members knows of them.

Ooops, sorry for that Panhead. I think I saw them at Veterama this year and just assumed they were German.

Thanks for all of the help guys.
I did get in touch with a gentleman named Lou at Raceframe and he said they were currently out of stock on the seat post clusters but they should have some made some time before winter.
