Dirt Bike

[Bert]

Just wondering... Found out this guy tonight is going to ride in th Baja 1500
next year. Not bad riding a dirt bike through California for 1500 miles, eh?
'specially for a 65 year old!!!
Right now I just got my Dynasty 200DX. Offered him any help he needed so I would have a project and perhaps start to get side jobs on dirt bikes in the future. Question: He said his kickstand tab is aluminum and needs to be tigged back on. Any hints to what type of aluminum it is and how should I weld it (settings, etc.). Don't know what kind of bike he has or ANYTHING about dirtbikes! I won't be able to see it till next weekend...
thanks

going to need a lot more info on it than that.
be shore to take some pic's of the bike when you get it. it will be interesting to see the mod's he has done to it to make the ride.

Many of the Aluminum frames today are a mix of castings, forgings & extrusions. 4XXX filler should probably suffice.

I would agree with bob that a 4xxx series filler would probably be the most suitable.

...but, I also race Baja (Trophy Truck and PRO-Truck, not bikes) and I don't know of any rider that uses a kickstand on a race bike.

I'm curious as to why he wants it on there.

What's his name? Maybe I'll just ask him in November if I see him down in Mexico.
