So that's what it looks like from the bottom looking up, I always wondered, thanks for the photo, I'll blow it up so I'll know where to look for stuff, hopefully the crash bar's worked and didn't scratch the paint or break anything. No really, not a good sight, hope it all worked out, gl.
Did anyone think of turning the bike around so the port side is on the downhill slope, or am I missing something, unless you have to pull it backwards uphill I mean.
Just my 2 cent's, maybe all it's worth, and I don't think you would want to take anymore than 1/4" = about 5mm or it will lean too much to the left if you ask me. I've never seen anyone try to weld cast anything, well I saw a company come in and try to heat up a flat casting, iron and did it with a torch, as soon as it started to get hot the whole bottom cracked and fell, yeah aluminum plate torch weld is easy, but cast aluminum a whole different animal, especially if it's from China cast aluminum, it's like trying to weld slag. Too much impurities.
You can always experiment, I would have a replacement in hand first, and start grinding mm by mm, and when you find what works for you, than cut up 1/8 more and put a piece of 1/8" aluminum or steel plate , like a 6"x6" square under it before you put it down everywhere you go.
Or cut a small foot and JB weld works pretty good and if it falls off have the square piece handy.
Like 8 way's to skin a cat, but 1 more will be too much and too much of anything can kill you, don't want that. Gl
