Looking for a Really Good Welder

[Delboy]

I'm looking for a good welder, someone who is qualified and does this for a living.

I need to get 2 dogbones shortened.

Thanks in advance.

I heard there is a good welder in the same complex as Rosey Toes. I haven't used him. Is that close to you?

 

[Delboy]

Thanks I'll check him out. I work about 15 mins away

Dog bones are cheap. Buy a set of shorter / longer ones.

Do you pic of the ones in question?

I would have to have a set custom made. They are off an 83 RZ350. They are basically mild steel about 1/2 x 3/4 of an inch.

It's the common mod when grafting in an RGV swingarm. I need to remove about 30mm from them and I don't trust my welding enough, at least not for this part. The last time I did an RGV transplant I had John Wright do it but he retired a long time ago.

I'll snap some pic's tomorrow.....

My TIG welder has 20 years experience with TIG....Id trust him with anything....Although if they are simple flat bones, I would also suggest making a new set over cutting and welding

Unfortunatly they are not just simple plates. Its part # 11 in this diagram. http://shop.thumpertalk.com/oem/images/Yamaha/1984/Motorcycles/75_swingarm.gif

Weirtech said they can do them but I'll keep your guy in mind if they can't.

Thanks

... and they're mild steel so they're easy to cut and paste.

I'll be making some custom aluminum RZ dogbones this fall. If you want a pair let me know.

I wouldn't be surprised if WickedATV had them in stock. Roger is a bit of a RZ nut.

Ping me if you do. I may be interested

John Bickle is the man to talk to.




... oh wait that could be wrong.

I would contact John @ Accelerated Technologies - Motorcycle Suspension Specialist

Not sure if he has anything suitable but he does love the old RZs and has a few in his shop.

I've had some work done at Weirtech, that would be my 1st choice.
