Welding up bikes
just a note on welding. I routinely weld with a wire feed welder on four wheelers that have engines like the 660 yamaha. No problem there. I also have stripped down and prepped for welding eight honda GL1800, these have a aluminum frame so I pull the CDI and unbolt and insulate the major gound and both battery connectors and the wires to the alternator. When in doubt do a little extra teardown and isolation of electrical components. It's also nice to have someone standing by with a fire extingisher or a fabric tarp to smoother the flames. Watch the battery vent tube also, even a small battery sounds like a gun shot when it explodes from a welder spark igniting the fumes in the vent tube.....and how do I know that you might ask?
