As far as I am aware, disconnect the battery for safety and ensure a good earth is made from the welding equipment to the bike. You should be then good to go.(I am of course assuming....as most I think....that you plan to use electric welding)
Please feel free to correct me peoples If I am talking sh*te. ![]() |

No, not for what you want. Get it welded.

Just had a thought, as welding is essentially a transfer of heat and the lug is on the headstock and I don't know how hot it would get you may want to consider the removal of the bearings or inspection of their grease there after. I'm not a welder just something that sprang to mind.
For those of you who are wondering and to help with any advice here is a picture of my CBRs head stock, the design is very similar... ![]() There is in the picture two bolts on the headstock, on Hovis' bike these are attached to the frame as protruding lugs and not a single lump like mine. However they both do the same job, that of holding the front subframe to the main frame. The top lug has detached from the headstock on Hovis' bike, this is what needs to be reattached. HTH |
