I'VE BEEN KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THE FRAME ISSUES SINCE I HAVE AN EARLY '01 STANDARD. DURING THE ONE RECALL THE DEALER FOUND THAT THE WELDS WERE TOO SMALL AND HAD THEM REPAIRED PER THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THEN LATER THEY FOUND A CRACK ON THE LEFT CROSSMEMBER ABOVE THE BATTERY WHERE WE'VE SEEN OTHERS CRACKED. THE DEALER CHECKED WITH HONDA TO SEE IF THEY WOULD REPLACE THE FRAME AND HONDA SAID NO.

ON MY 2001 HONDA GOLDWING GL1800 MY FRAME IS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE ABOVE THE PASSENGER FOOTREST. THIS CRACK WAS FOUND TODAY SEPT.22 2008.

THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS VEHICLE HAD A FRAME RECALL IN 2002 WHICH HONDA DID A PATCH REPAIR REWELD ON THE UNDERNEATH CROSSMEMBER. *TR
