hi all they're going too total my bike because of the broken kickstand mount (see this thread https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...kickstand.html) saying frame damage and the HD shop wants to replace the frame, they wont weld the broken mount and certify it as repaired . But insurance company is giving me a settlement and doing a low salvage rate and letting me buy it back , so now i need a good welder in the southeast PA , philadelphia area. any recommendations and or ideas too help me out here ??

thanks and ride safe

 

Just have them replace the frame. Is the insurance company willing to pay for the frame replace.

 

Paging bmxatv! Come in! LOL

 

That's probably why they are "writing it off" - un-economical repair to replace frame at HD labour/parts rate.

 

yes exactly hd shop wanted a fortune to swap the frame and the ins co didnt want too pay for that , so now i need to find a welder too fix it .

 

??????? im guessing bmxatv can help me with this ?

 

Monstercraftsman. Little shop in Lebanon, Pa. Maybe worth a look. http://blog.monstercraftsman.com/. Jebby Shack in Ephrata, Pa specializes in Sportsters. Another small shop but solid. http://www.thejebbyshack.com/.

 

 

Shouldnt an '07 get you a decent chunk of change towards a new sporty?

 

LOL love the pic of the Jb weld for this job I dont think it will do the trick.
