ebowman85 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I have a 2011 Sherco 290 that needs a new frame. I can't find a 2011 frame so does anyone know if a 2010 or 2012 frame would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted December 23, 2015 Report Share Posted December 23, 2015 I know its not the answer to your question but what is wrong with the 2011 frame you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebowman85 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 The left side 'ear' piece that the swingarm bolt goes through is cracked completely off and there are about 8 other cracks in the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebowman85 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Lol unfortunately I just bought the bike and didn't realize it was this bad. It was dark out and the light on the dudes barn wasn't very bright haha. I think the bike fell from the sky a couple times 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evoalien Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Falling from the sky is the best thing that could happen to a Sherco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneh Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 If you've no joy in finding a frame get the old one re welded by a proper welder and a few strengthening gussets while your at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebowman85 Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks for all the replies. If you guys think it'd be ok welding it I might just have to do that. Can't seem to find a new frame anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cascao Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) And you can paint it blue Edited December 24, 2015 by cascao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauls320 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Yes, Not a huge deal to weld up frame. Kinda makes one seriously wonder about the condition of the rest of the bike when the frame is busted up so badly and not told about it??

shercoben12 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) just call up your local importer depending on which country your in. i think they would offer you a very good deal on a new frame if not free... worth a try. if not just weld. happy xmas all Edited December 24, 2015 by shercoben12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 God knows what this bikes been through,don't feel your grief will end with welding/replacing the frame..I'd get the frame welded and re sprayed so it's safe to ride and be prepared for a lot more such as:are the wheels round and true?suspension still damping and springs not sagged?all consumables will probably want replacing,shock linkage hopefully salvageable,what does the motor sound and run like.Id do what it needs to make it part exchangeable and accept it was a bad buy and move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
