Wes Cooley back from the dead (with a twist!)

[7981GS]

Went shopping for an '88 1100F Katana and found a POS.

From there, checked on the seat mods on 3 seats at the upholstery shop. Not finished.
After that, picked up a partial GS650G for parts and listed it in the parts section as many members have been looking for parts for these.

Going to try and dial in the wire-feed welder tomorrow and see about installing the foot-peg mounts and swing arm.
Wish me luck!

And by "wire feed welder" you mean MIG and not flux core right?

Flux core wire feed with no CO2.
My stick welder will just blow large holes in the thin metal.

You have done enough bikes that I won't tell you how useless flux core is but if you weld a lot on bikes you should move up to a MIG welder with argon or CO2...
Flux core is "OK" for non critical things.
An actual decent MIG makes your welds soooo much better and easier.

What brand of welder are you using and what wire size are you using?

Sorry for all the questions but I weld and see some horrible stuff done with Harbor freight 90 amp flux core welders.
