GENERAL MOTORCYCLE PART REPAIRS

ALL PICTURES ARE CLICKABLE

Here we see a very expensive stainless steel motorcycle exhaust manifold that was damaged at the bottom of the tubes. If you look at the first picture, you will see the flattened areas causing the exhaust to leak at the joints. We disassembled the manifold and hand worked the dents to form round tubes again. We re-assembled the manifold and finished the requested repair.

In the pictures above, we see a customer’s aluminium motorcycle engine cover that has many cracks in it. We repaired the cracks by welding both sides of the cover and machining them back to the factory surfaces. We also had to restore a threaded mounting hole that the crack ran through. The welding process used here was aluminium TIG welding.

Above, we have a motorcycle head brought in by a customer with a broken exhaust mounting bolt stuck in the head. All conventional removal methods were tried, but none were successful. We machined away the portion of the head surrounding the bolt until we could remove it easily. Then we welded the resulting hole back up with aluminium Tig welding. We then machined the exhaust port surface to its original height and reinstated the threaded hole.

The above aluminium motorcycle bash plate cracked when our customer rode over a large rock. We straightened the plate and prepared it for welding. We repaired the damage with aluminium TIG welding.

Here, we have an aluminium clutch plate basket with a broken mounting finger. We machined the area around the break and made a hole in the back of the unit of a specific size. We made a new aluminium finger and turned the base to press fit into the back of the basket. The back of the basket was then rosette welded to the finger and finished by machining flat.

Here, we have an aluminium foot peg off a Harley, damaged in a fall. Because of the small welding surface area available, we welded in a solid aluminium bar from the bottom. We used the aluminium TIG welding process to affect the repair.

Above, we have a mild steel motorcycle exhaust system with a hairline crack in the curved tube. We welded the crack using mild steel TIG welding, and ground and polished down the weld bead.

Here we have a stainless steel BMW motorcycle exhaust system that was brought in by a customer to be modified. We welded two different systems together that were brought to us by our customer.

Above we have a Buell stainless steel exhaust pipe that we had to join to an aftermarket cannister. We turned a custom adapter out of stainless steel which enabled the cannister to be used with the Buell exhaust. We welded together all parts using stainless TIG welding.
