Shadow 1100 Advice

[Danz19899]

A buddy i work with has a 1989 Honda Shadow 1100, 26k miles engine runs mint everything looks good except for one kinda big problem

Somehow someone managed to crack the bottom of the case. It was jb welded when he got it but now its leaking.

Long story short he will sell it to me for basically nothing I'm just wondering how much of a bitch it will be to fix.

So does anyone know anyone who would be able to weld it?

Or know where i could get a new lower Case

Really want to buy this and rebuild it a little for my Dad over the winter

sweet think hes done riding for the season so I'm gonna see how much JB weld I can get off see what the crack actually looks like.

I'm sure some kind of machine shop could take care of it for you.

We have a good machine shop at work, and a good welders, don't buy anything just give me the case

talked to him a little more guess the crack might start from the drain plug so I might also need to re-drill and tap it once its welded. Gonna take a look at it this weekend

also got to figure out if i can get mid controls for it, my dads back isn't the greatest so he doesn't like forward controls

Dude I will take care the case, I will xray the case to c how long and deep is the crack!
