general purpose welder

admin

Hello everyone, I have no experience in welding and was trying to figure out what's a good general purpose welder. I just discovered that a portion of my motorcycle frame was cracked and would like to know what type of welder would be good to repair this. since it is winter and I'm not riding I figure I can do some practice before actually working on the bike. I'm also on a fixed income and don't want to spend too much on a piece of equiptment that I'm going to use only ocasionally. the body shop wants $125 just to weld one spot. so that's not an option. thanks

Reply:thanks for the responses. the damage isn't on the main frame, just the part that holds the front cowling that encloses the headlight. thanks again
