Welding on frame OK?
« on: October 03, 2023, 07:44:38 PM »
I would prefer your thoughts on handling this issue:
 I need to replace a broken off fork steering stop tab on the lower frame neck.  I'm considering having a replacement piece Tig welded in the stock position, probably about a centered 1" long weld with a "tack" on each top corner.  The question is, does the bike need to be disassembled to protect any of the electrical parts?
 The bike is an '83 CT110 with a 6 volt system for basically operating lights and accessories, as the engine doesn't need the battery installed to run.  There is a rectifier which I believe uses diodes to direct current flow.

Thanks in advance,
