Need advice: How to detect frame damage
I'm looking around for a sporty for a cafe project. I'm considering a 2007 1200R that has been totalled and is up for auction from Copart. I haven't seen it in person yet but photos show right side damage, front fender damage and instrument cluster damage.
I'm not concerned about the sheet metal & other damaged parts, however the frame & forks are a concern.
I know taking it to a shop is the best way to check the frame but I cant do that before the auction. I can go in person to inspect the bike though.
Can you guys offer any tips or techniques that I could use on-site to help determine if frame and forks are damage beyond repair?
Thanks for the help!
