Was at my local shop today getting an inspection, the lead Tech had an 02 1800 on the rack stripping it to the bone. A little trivial talk with him and I found out the the bike had a broken frame, he showed me where the lower crossmember had failed, the bike is getting a new frame which means he's doing a factory (re)build on this machine, man I don't envy that guy! Seems the current owner bought it from the PO in Las Vegas, the PO never had it checked, the new owner never registered it with Honda, and lived in 2 states since, he appearenly never knew about the recall. Thank the motorcycle gods this didn't happen out on the road, but in the driveway of his home. I read about this on the board all the time, but never knew the gravity. That owner needs to become a member here! I had know idea there was that much under the body of these bikes! WOW!
