The front brace holding the chain guard on my '96 has broken-the weld has broke.  Do any of the D-FW Mootsters weld?  Need assistence.

Brad if you like we can take care of this in Norman. Is it possible to do off-bike?   Give me a call/text

Thanks, Scott!  Went to Scott's " 'Magna' Shop" Fri. eve and Scott spot welded the chain guard bracket.  Like new.

Part of what I do backstage :-)  Thankfully our shop at work is about 3000 square feet and pretty well equipped with woodworking and metalworking tools.  And very easy to ride the bike into when work needs to be done. 
There is even a bike lift... cleverly disguised as a 1 ton Chain Hoist  :shock:

glad to help Brad.  Thanks for keeping me company and swapping tales at dinner!! I love that McAlisters sweet tea

Found out most of the handling probs on the Magna was only 30 psi in the rear tire. instead of 42.  Solved most of the handling issues.

Scott-the spot-welds you put on are holding, but another 'original' weld has broken, letting the front of the chain guard rattle.  Still need to replace the fork oil.  Wrench session?

Brad I'd love to!  The weld is something that could be an evening or weekend thing since I have to borrow welder at work.  I'll have to look closely to see where that welds to.  Are you riding off road or something!!

Fork oil I have the tools we need... I should change my fork oil too :shock:
Is there a weekend or two you might prefer?  In the near term the weekend of the 17th I have to work all weekend. 
Otherwise we have options   :lol:
