    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.

Time to pay, sad mistake

Well, that would depend on how much you torqued the nut on and how close the welder was. The ideal situation is to load it on a truck and take it to a welder, but as a person without a truck myself I understand that sometimes you have to deal with a less-than-ideal situation.

Is the frame tubing really that prone to crushing?
 
Update!


Called like a 10 guys in town. No one wanted to mess with it.

One shop said they could do it until they found out it was not a Harley! LOL


Found a guy, $175. Had to cut it off drill through the frame and re-weld another on.

Pain in the ass error, but had to get it fixed right. No micky mouse stuff.
 
Glad to see you got er fixed. I was going to suggest calling a muffler shop. Believe it or not, those guys are pretty good welders, and if its a mom and pop shop, they'll usually do stuff like that on the side for cash money. And they're used to welding on tubing, which is a plus, as ive seen some very good welders struggle welding tubing pretty. Nothing messes up the lines of a frame like a big glob of bad weld...
