DOM frame tubing

you can also convert into mm on this site if needed.

i am making frame modifications. replacing some sections, and adding brackets/mounts.

18,23mm? i even went in my manual, and i dont see it. still looking.

Uuuuh....

Well, depending on your welding skill, I would just measure what you are removing and match it.

The manual likely wont tell you frame tube diameters and wall thickness.

You would need to be more specific if you want specific recommendations.

I cant see brackets and mounts made from tube.

new mono shock mounts/brackets from tube. some frame stiffening in the front of the bike. where i cut the frame...example the bottom rear motor mount tube, replace it.....and so on...

kz1k. the stock frames in that area are about 1.125"(28mm)outside diameter x .079"(2mm)wall.
From the link you posted, either the 1" or 1.12" OD and .083 wall A513 Type 5 tube will work for your upper shock mount application. Which ever is the better price/availability would be my choice.

Good luck,
Jim

i dont see a .083 wall. i see .83.

really, .83 wall is almost 7/8 inch, that isnt possible on 1.125 tube...

not to be a ass, i do appreciate the advice. i looked in my manual, and googled it...nothing yet. cmon KZers this should be a easy answer...lol
