Local Welder, Aluminum and/or steel?
I was wondering if anyone knows or can weld something for me. I have broken the aluminum subframe on my GSXR and thinking about either re-welding the aluminum or getting someone to fabricate me one out of steel. I am just wondering if you or someone you know can help me out. Just wondering who would be up the the job,
Thanks in advanced for any help guys.

I'm assuming you want someone to come to you to weld it? There's a welding shop near richmond airport that we take our shop stuff to get welded, they do a pretty good job

Since you do use it for stunting, getting a steel subframe fabbed up really wouldn't be a bad idea. And anyone with two halfs of a brain cell can weld/bend steel.

yea hopefully once I get this done, there isnt anything else to break. I might check out that place off patterson. Its just that I know if I take it to a place to have the subframe fabricated completely out of steel, i didnt wanna pay an arm and a leg to have it done. They sell some for like $400 + shipping for my bike but I dont have that kinda money to spend on a bike that falls alot.

For a bike that falls alot, a steel subframe would be better than constantly welding/rewelding broken joints on the aluminum piece.
