    Calling all Bulls!!!

    I need a recommendation for a boiler maker/metal man.. I need to have an XR400 frame fixed and it will require some tricky welding that I can’t do..

    What I need done is something similar to this:

    very funny…. I would be more than willing to go visit Sutto as long as you give me the 14k I will need..

    Please don’t get started on the typical shit fight you boys like to have about XR’s as I’m not interested.. If you are not genuinely interested in helping then F$%k off and don’t respond.. :P

    The welding in pictures isn’t very complicated. Any competent local fab shop should be able to do this for you a boiler maker will just charge you more. I would source the tube and take it to them to get the welding done.

    Sorry for the generic response, I don’t know where you live (guessing it’s Sydney area), if you are anywhere near the Newcastle area I can recommend some places to get work done :)

    I have investigated the new frame/used frame route.. By the time I pay for the frame/shipping, cancel my current rego and have to pay for a fresh new rego I’m up for a lot more money that trying to fix what I have…

    Do you have any photos of the repairs you require?

    Are XR frames chrome molly steel or thick walled mild steel?
