would you ride a bike w/ a rewelded neck? - Page 3

Yes - and under/over-penetration (giggety) is hard to control without a good rig (pulsed-DC MIG or hi-freq AC TIG) & knowing what you're doing.

Yeah, I'm with most of the others. A steel-frame chopper? If the weld looked like it was done by somebody who knew WTF they were doing, probably. A powerful, short-wheelbase bike with an aluminum frame? No way.

Personally, I'd just sell the extra parts, and use the money to buy a legit bike with an engine/transmission failure.

turns out dude is basically gonna cut an oblong piece outta the neck that goes around VIN #, and cut out similar shape on the "good" frame, and weld the good # into the hole left by the "bad" vin, and clean it up.

Depends on the welder, I would trust some welders over the original weld.

Kerry_129 · 11-16-2009, 01:13 PM

Yeah - that will look legit......

Wonder how that first inspection will go?

Yeah, like the 2 cuts are going to match exactly. And yeah, like someone is not going to notice what he did.

Sounds like a bunch of losers on that board.......Houston Imports? Yeah that's gonna be quality peeps. BTW what's a Trans Am doing on that board?

but "import" assumes someone actually wanted to bring him over

Some one post up the pic where the guy rode with no rear axle spacer. That guy would probably ride any torn up bike.
