Hi Oily

Wee accident, which broke off one of the lugs to which the foot-peg carrier bolts. Crying or Very sad

They do weld back on easy enough and then dress the weld a bit with a dremel or the like Wink

I've read it's curtains with a lug off. Have you had one done? Any recommendations as to who might do it?

I'd have tought it was just an alloy weld. It's not critical to the frame dimensions.
Try Psycle Works or frame makers like Spondon, Harris, etc or try an alloy welder in your area. they'll be able to cut a lug for you but you'll need the footrest hanger to position it.

Not a foot peg lug but a lower engine mount lug on my first SB6 Wink
It was still going strong when I sold it 5 years later

Thanks for your input Guys. I've taken a closer look at it and it looks as if the lug that didn't break has already been welded before. I'll get talking to some welding boys.

How's that new motor of yours going Oily?

I had a cracking run up to your neck of the woods yesterday to see my Mum - Stourbridge. Motor was running great before I made my assault on the asphalt Crying or Very sad

Not started it at all after I took it off the bench. First thing I discoverd is it's got to go back on the bench so I can do a mod to the side stand (amazingly) Laughing

Next time you visit your mom, pop in as I'm only 10 minuets away Wink
