sorry the battery is hanging loose because i just had it out to charge. Im having a volyage problem right now and even with the kill switch engaged and the key in the off position, the battery still dies after a week. As for the welds, all the main parts r still stock welds but you can see where he made mods and the welding is ok. I can do better and i will fix them when i have the bike stripped. The are no cracks so im not too worried. I dont ride much right now do to life issues, so it s a moot point. thanks for the replys. Any comments good or bad are welcome. the only thing i dont like is he put the starter button under the frame on the left side. cool idea but difficult to reach.
