So ran into a huge problem. Bought a 78 a few months go. It was just the frame/motor/and rear wheel
Everything else i had to piece together. It was previously hard tailed (quite badly done it looked like)
Anyway i put it all together and the bike sitting straight up is 1-2 inches off the ground. I can't even put the kickstand down. Im thinking they didn't measure properly from the hardtail. Because the downtube was cut and welded
Is my best plan for a fix just to get longer fork tubes? Thats the only thing i can think of besides hacking the bike up again. At the moment its unridable
