Whilst removing my primary chain case yesterday I realised that an area of damage had been poorly repaired and was leaking a little bit of oil. The casing looks like it has taken a bump at some time (probably the foot peg or brake pedal got smashed into it during an accident). I think someone has used a 'liquid metal' type of product on it and done a poor job.
So my question is, can these be repaired be welding? If so, does anyone have a trustworthy and proven person they can recommend?
Thanks
Geoff
