Yes, definitely! Put them in this thread. My brother has an ''87 that he is rebuilding. Where are you located?

 

im in leicester uk samantha

 

Well, that's a bit farther than I imagined. Haha.

 

hi all a few pics to start with if they work for me

 

swingarm is done now onto the reason why me bikes in bits the dreaded cracked frame ,thought all do i just weld the crack or weld crack then plate over top?

 

The swingarm looks good! I had a coworker who was an experienced welder fix mine. He ground down into the crack to make a little valley, and then welded all the way through the crack past both ends where it stopped. You can also drill a small hole at the end of the crack so it doesn't continue, and then weld the whole thing up.

 

I did what tahoe did, but I had it tig welded for better penetration with a smaller bead. Drilled both sides, ground out the valley and some of the stock weld, and had him go for broke. The result? It looks stock after he was finished(good welder)

 

going to do what tahoe rider suggests ty,heres anouther question what type of weld would look closest to factory welds cheers tig?

 

TIG is what was used stock. However an excellent MIG welder can make it look just as good.
