Frame question

[racepaul1]

Need to replace the frame on a GS1000E. Are there any frames other than the GS1000E that are interchangeable?

it can be done but you are likely to have trouble with registration as the vehicles identity for registration is based on its frame, if you buy a new frame you will have to get one with a v5 and transfer your running gear to it and register that frame as your bike. however, thats not the only option. if your frame has rotted through the tubes, then you can get the affected sections cut out and replaced, its not an uncommon thing on frames of this age and there are folk on here who can do it for you. alternatively, if the frame is bent following a spill, then you can have it straightened by a frame repair specialist using a motoliner jig, just google motoliner frame straightening and see who is nearest.
