I have a ‘91 R100 monoshock. The upper rear shock mount is a fairly robust casting that’s welded to the main frame hoop. I wouldn’t believe that the mount is “commonly“ bent without a pretty serious drop or crash—a bit of speculation which may be borne out by your broken sub-frame and MIA fairing. I wouldn’t assume that the bent shock mount and broken sub-frame are the end of the frame damage without a real expert’s eyeball and perhaps some careful measurements in a frame jig. Send your photos to Tom Cutter at the Rubber Chicken Racing Garage for his feedback. No one wants to throw cold water onto an eager new airhead owner, but the reality may be that you’ve bought a parts donor, not a rider.
Khittner,
Thanks for your insight. My untrained eye has no chance to spot whether or not the rest of the frame looks good. Eager to get on the road while maintaining an clear perspective on reality is definitely the struggle. I’ll shoot Tom a message and post an update if/when I hear back. Thanks again.
