I'd hate to see how he welded before he started doing his "custom" work. Man..

Cheese 'n' crust man! Looks like a robot took a sh*t on those parts to hold 'em together. I've been welding for 12 years and my welds looked better than that on my first day!! That is VERY unsafe, those crappy welds haven't even penetrated the metal. It was just a matter of time until parts started snapping off of that thing!!

I feel sorry for the owner of that bike, but thats definantly some funny **** there. I also wonder how someone or "custom shop" like that stays in business

As an owner of a Tool and Die welding shop, all I can say is Damnnnn. Whoever did that job should be strung up. He had no idea how to use a Mig. When we have worked on bikes, I always use a tig.

The sorry thing about this, not only could that customer have killed himself or his rider, he paid $4000.00 for that honor.

I'm taking a welding class right now and my welds look better than that. Certainly amazing that some people could stand to do work like that and not have it burn away at their conscience.
