Just took on a project that some shop completely hacked up and I need a little help with finding a quality-oriented welding person to hopefully correct/ repair the issues.
The bike is a 1981 XS650. The issue is everything to do with the installation of the custom subframe, the manner in which it attaches to the OEM frame, the shock mounts, etc....all of it is hacked together by hundreds of spot welds. I'm not a welder and I am not sure if this entire frame is junk now or if it can be corrected. That said, I need to locate someone who knows what they are doing and get their opinion on how they will correct the mistakes.
I ask that your suggestions are being made because you have had direct dealings with the welder you are referencing. I don't care about who you heard great things about from whom. I care about your opinion of someone's work with whom you have dealt with directly or have direct knowledge of.
I will try to get some pics as well as the shop name. The work is simply atrocious and I haven't even talked about the wiring job yet.
Any help with finding someone is greatly appreciated.
EDIT: The business name is Columbia Customs/ Columbia Screw located in Hampton, NH
