\r\n \r\n Tmnt you can\'t go wrong on a steel Frame mig or tig, mig is gonna be cheaper but if done right just as strong! Either way steel is a lot easier to fix than aluminum.\r\n

\r\n \r\n That has to be a MOTODOC in the original pic... or a copy..
\n
\nLook at loogies frame, the mount points, the upper stay mounts..... it is the same.. but like I said it could be a copy..\r\n

\nmay be... but looking back at the original pic.. the picture quality sucks ass!! the upper mouts are alike and those fairing tabs look like motodocs.
\n
\ni think this is just a MIG welded frame with a bad picture. there is no crack, there is no pin hole, there are no structural problems... Majority of those welds are hiden from the fairings (assuming the fairing tabs are being used), so $550 well saved in my opinion.\r\n

I agree those are some ugly welds, but that doesnt mean they arent strong. It looks like its got penetration, of course we cant tell for sure since its been powdered. A weak weld would look like a bunch of little boogersQuote:

In mild steel, mig will be stronger than tig. Quote:

I\'ve seen worse welds that still hold and to this day haven\'t cracked! \r\n \r\n | \r\n

What extra work? Cleaning up the metal before you weld it? Should be doing that anyway.\r\n

TIG weld is cleaner and a much more labor intensive process, but it is used more often than not in custom bike building, like choppers. we are using these for the purpose of added support and more strength not for looks. \r\n \r\n | \r\n

\nmaybe not "extra" work and maybe not necessarily more labor intensive. takes more time, but i guess its all in how u lay the bead\r\n

Can you post examples of what your welds look like on similar tubing and similar angles and what not?\r\n
