I'd just like to know what my frame is made of. One of the little tab things that are meant to hold the bash plate on is almost broken off.

What bike do you ride?

Hi Lucas,
The Sherco is Chrome-molybdenum. Chromed finish (type/mix if steel). I think you can have it welded as normal but it will be dull after that. But I don't suppose that will matter, seeing as it is under the bike.
Best of balance.

Sorry, Sherco 290. I figured Neo or BJ would be the first to reply

Did that PA beat me to a post????
I was too busy riding today and he gets me. I think a tig would be best but a mig should be ok! But don't let anyone near it with an ark unless they are really good.

I'm going to get it done professionally, I need a few things on my stuntbike done also.

I would think TIG would be the way to go.
Sorry I beat you to post there BJ.
