Thanks for that, really high temp c.1200 deg, the most I came across when looking was c.6-700 so I tried some of that but not sure how long it will last, so good to know for when I need to do it again.

Sorry a little bit of confusion, forgot you guys still use Fahrenheit rather than Celsius (my 6-700 was of course in Celsius)

Could it be filled in with welding material? (tig or mig) Then sanded and polished out.

as far as the Shinko tires. i understand they are cheaper tires. i am not a road racer and with my history of brain injury i am lucky i ride at all. once i ride it and get the feel of the tires i'll post my comments.
so IDODIRT are you a dirt motorcycle rider?

No, I'm a CBR sport bike rider all the way, as is my wife. Currently have the 4 you see in my signature. The avatar name is actually not related, but it would sure seem like it. Short explanation is I lived a few years in GA and joined an Astronomy club. I always admired the huge telescopes that some of members would have. 12", 16", 20" and even 24" mirrors in some. That size helps you gather lots of dim photons so you can see distant galaxies. They were not really well suited for observing things close by like the planets (hence, dirt). I had a much more economical telescope that was suited well for observing the planets. Hence, I do dirt. LOL, I don't think I've really ever explained that anywhere here on the forum.

Ha!

I'd always made the same assumption that Kramdua made.

BTW nice work on the bike Kramdua. Just a question. Would it be possible to fill the frame dent with a weld?

well now you have explained the IDODIRT. sounds like something i would have interest into also.
i haven't decided what to do with the dent. i am thinking of just filling it in with maybe JB Weld and just smooth it out so if i do put the chrome tape or decal it will look much better than the picture i sent in.
thanks,

Well that blows my theory of you maybe owning an excavating company. If all of us combined all of our incorrect ideas about it, we could create a whole new online personality for you. Might come in handy some day.
