I'm going to try to get my frame replaced by next race weekend. To maintian my geometries do I just want to measure the fork hieght and set them the same? Everything else should come back together as it was before correct?

It will be close not exactly. Don't take the forks out of the lower calmp, just remove the whole assembly. Same with the shock and swing arm, unbolt the swing arm and link and put the whole thing on the new frame/motor.

Jay,

Here's what you do:

1--drive down to daytona by yourself
2--screw up your frame
3--have GMD measure it and then tell you its bent
4--scramble for ideas

THEN

5--put jack stands under the engine to support it
6--take everything else off
7--put the new frame on TOP of the engine assembly
8--tighten bolts.



Oh ya, do this without help.

Here are some pics for reference:
