Hey!
So I'm new to this forum/ page and I love to ride and work on my own bike.
A bit about myself.
I'm on my second bike. Both were customs and spent more time being worked on then on the road. Yet I love my garage time.
My current Bike (see pick) is called/AKA Frankenbike. When I first got it it seemed to have been assembled with odds and ends. Mostly from junk drawers and scap heaps I think.
The frame is a soft tail daytech with a 38 degree rake.
Despite being a soft tail it has a solo springer seat. first glance you'd think its a rigid frame.
The motor is EVO with REV-tech heads.
The drive is a BDL open primary.
I have HD drag bars and triple tree forks.
The carb is an S&S Super E.
I typically keep to myself. I'm not a big people person. I prefer to ride alone when i do which seems a rare occasion these days.
So- what brings me to this site if I'm such a loner? I'm currently having a bit of a crisis and not sure where to turn. I did a bunch of google searches but didnt really satisfy my thirst for knowledge or solid opinions/good advice.
My crises is this. A few days ago I pulled my fat-bob tank off my bike to do some rewireing and I found a really bad break in the frame. Not just a crack. A break. Its in the backbone between the upper motor mount and the neck. Its at the base of a support tube. Ive been in a state of freakout since. I feel like I found a tumor and awaiting test results. Can this be fixed? should I fix it? Is it worth it?
(maybe this is too much info or too soon seeing how we just met). I need some help.
