I just heard back from G.M.D. that my frame is to far gone to repair. So I am in the market for a frame. I have a 2004 S4R and need a straight and true frame with a clean title. I don't know if the S2R has the same frame or not and don't know what years and models have the same frame??
If anyone has one or can lead me to one or help me in my search that would be great.
Thanks,

You can use an earlier Monster, S4 frame, but you will need to transfer the passenger footpeg mounts and the exhaust mount. Then you will need to remove the forward peg mounts from the donor frame.

Thanks all for your info and help. I've been talking with a lot of people and all seem to think the frame can be repaired.
G.M.D. of Milford, CT measured frame and gave me these results: Steering axis is pushed back 23.24mm and 1.4 degrees to the left. Sub frame twisted. Mike at G.M.D. said frame needs to be replaced.
My thoughts are that the sub frame can be bent back to shape and the front end can be cut and welded and repaired.
Any thought or ideas??
Anyone know of any frame shops in CT?
23.24mm is almost an inch, which IMHO is alot. Then you would have to factor what tubes are bent, or pooched out as well. Also what is the cost of the repair vs finding a frame used?
The GMD guys are pretty good at what they do, and Id tend to agree with him on this one.
