2wheels 0 Posted April 12, 2012 It's possible but you may struggle to find someone to attempt it. When I needed a tiny weld doing on an engine the only form I found willing to give it a go wanted the entire engine stripped in order to heat up the component before welding.

streetfighter 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Not really worried about the fairing as I would fighter it polish the frame and do bits and pieces to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lee1 1 Posted April 12, 2012 To be honest micky if I had £1500 for a bike I would look for something elseif that fix was just a simple weld job then the guy would have it done,the problem with alloy is it breaks up very easyand the damage can not always be seen from the out side of the block hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stantheman 0 Posted April 12, 2012 i can weld ally mick but i wouldnt attempt this one mate as it would need to be stripped off the bike ;plenty more fish in the sea mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macie_UK 0 Posted April 12, 2012 Yes, it's do-able but will need stripping for a proper job. For that kind of money walk away mate, lots easier and cheaper to buy a straight one - 51 plates can be had for around 2 grand often enough and if you're going to fighter it you get to recoup some dollar on the plastics - will probably end up cheaper than buying the one you have been offered, with lots less hassle.
