Need biker/welder advice

Thanks for the answer guys. I will drop taking this one.Thank you for listening to sound advice. Seriously.

Thanks for the feedback...now I get potato,and yeah that sounds right.I tried those clamp ons before..don't seem to hold full body weight...or maybe they have newer models out now...but I do have an aftermarket bracket that bolts behind the tranny made for this..but the kicker an the foot peg compete for the same space..so now maybe I can fabricate a peg that will bolt to the inside of the bracket...I agree much better than welding on the frame. Thanks!

I have a ridged frame and am thinking about welding a couple of tabs for rear pegs,and one thats been been broke(for inner primary). It has a generator,small battery 12v.,and a joe hunt magneto.The motor is still in the frame but half tore apart.....Will I damage any of the electrics while still in the frame?

If it was my bike I would NOT weld on tabs for foot pegs.
You can get chrome clamp on pegs. Many brands ,many styles.
If you need to re position the pegs for a perfect fit you can easily move them. Very important.
That way you can always take them off, and the frame is not altered.

BTW....Potato bike =Harley Davidson sound like potato,potato ,potato. Work on it.

Potato bike

It's a rigid frame by the way and no electronics to speak of. A mag isn't effected by welding. Sounds like a potato bike.....

Would take about 1/2 hour to take the motor out. What is the problem?

Thanks!...urch55 sounds like excellent advice!

If you install you're ground clamp close to where the welding will be done(grind off any paint for a good grounding), with the battery disconnected or removed there is no reason for worry.
