not promicing but i reckon you could,

i had a smashed sump was like a 4 intch hole in bottom of a motocross bike, they weleded it, put a new sump plug, and welded the cracks up.

do you want me to take a picture to my uncle a welder by trade see what he says?

£1500 stue but I think I can get it a little cheaper as he wants another R1 he uses it when it's dry, and always keeps the oil topped up, and serviced he is one of the technicians at work

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.

Not really worried about the fairing as I would fighter it polish the frame and do bits and pieces to it

To be honest micky if I had £1500 for a bike I would look for something else

if that fix was just a simple weld job then the guy would have it done,the problem with alloy is it breaks up very easy

and the damage can not always be seen from the out side of the block hope this helps

if you want to fihter something mate try the zx9r, can get older shape for that, insurance is half the price, and they fight very well. if not got ace etc. or even an old blade, ive looked at them they fighter very well. mutly blade on sf magazine has showed that,

just let me know if you want me to ask my mate, hes only a call away. for example bit small for you but ash paid £450 for his fzr400. jordans bandit 600, lovely bike very clean £850 had 19k on it, my bandit was £925, and had enuine 3500 on clock, and very cheap fixes. he had a vfr750 for £650, and needed new new lock set

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

[Macie_UK 0]

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.
