NoLimitzInc Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Guys I have a question. When I bought my bike the guy had broke off the left side rear fender support. So I have just got a new set of plastics that have the complete rear fenders. Since mine where cut and stress marked real bad. So I got the new fenders on and cut to the way that I wanted them. I am real picky about both sides matching. So I made a 90 degree peice to match the right side. So now I need to weld it on there. Is there anything that I need to be careful of? I know your normal stuff, but I am worried about the electrical of the bike? Do I need to disconnect anything from the bike to weld on it? Here is the pics of what I am talking about. and a pic of why I changed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeKid15 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 nope, should be all fine. As long as you dont get a wire hot enough to melt it... weld away! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 We welded on my old drag bike and my cousins without doing anything and it was ok afterward. I would probably disconnect the cdi and go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallrat Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I heard about a guy that f'd up something on his truck, but he attached the ground on one side and was welding on the other. I've done plenty o' welding on my old frame, as well as my truck, and I just always attached the ground close to where I'm working. Haven't had a problem yet.

NoLimitzInc Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yeah I havent got that far on the bike yet. I cant decide what pipes to get. My neighbor which is a old Banshee mechanic keeps telling me to get FMF's.He says they make good power and are not way loud. Everyone on here says T5. So I can decide. I am in AZ sorry. Ok cool will be welding the brace on tonight. Thanks alot guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Not everyone. If you want twin pipes I suggest the fmf gold series if you can find some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcoholbanshee Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 I always unplug the cdi...... I know there are some that have not had problems....but it takes a couple seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Keith Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yes, always unplug the cdi & connect the ground to a bare spot, not a painted area, so that it won't arc while trying to ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
