    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

If you haven't pooped it up with epoxy yet, there is an aluminum brazing rod that you can get at welding shops to repair aluminum. On a non structural crack like this it would be ideal. All you need is a propane torch, a wire brush, and a stick of the aluminum repair rod. It keeps it all metal, and it is much stronger than epoxy. Good luck with it.
 
If you think one of these from these 750s will work i will send ya one..if someone knows or can cross reference the part numbers let us know. they are just as oxidized as yours so it wont ruin the petina on your bike!!! LMAO.
 
I've also used a Permatex product called Liquid Steel. A two part system that works very well. Just V the crack out some with a Dremel, apply, sand, and good to go.

Theo...you could also make a sand casting of the offending piece, then melt it down and re-pour it into a whole new piece!!!

Yeah...I'll get right on that :rolleyes:. I can't believe how many of you are trying to tempt me to spend more money. It's like having a girlfriend or a wife, which I fortunately don't have either of, otherwise this scene would never fly.

Anyways, I sealed the crack and put it back on. If I can get this bike running nicely, then I'll start worrying about the cosmetics and making the bike look pretty.
