    All jokes aside... (I'll hook ya up if it's for Jessica!)

    I can weld it for ya' ... cheap.

    I don't see a need for someone to charge loads of dough to a fellow racer when it's something so small and trivial, but so important to the guy who owns the bike/quad.

    I also have crappy availability... the only drawback. If you brought it to me, stripped down so I can get to the areas in need... and it's not dirty, you've prepped the areas... I'll do it for nearly nothing.

    I rarely check this site... best thing to do is PM me to get my attention.
