[callyboy]

Anyone think this is beyond repair ?





I want to have a second set of panels and tank a different colour.

get it welded up pete, then get some tank sealer from frost's

What sort of money would a welder charge for that ? Would imagine its going to be a big patch.

Its right in the left corner where the bike was sitting for 8 years.

Looks like the spot is a bit awkward with those bends on a corner. I wonder if it would be worth getting the right gauge steel and shaping a replacement piece. You could practice on a thin bit of ally first maybe.

post it to me pete, i'll weld it for you and send it back. no charge, its a kat club membership thing! you will have to seal it afterwards though. dont use petseal though its not upto it!

Blimey John, thats really kind of you. Thanks very much. Will box it up and post it asap.

I really appreciate it.

Thanks
