Welding Service

[dallas]

I have decided to offer my welding skillz to club members. I am posting in the Southern CO forum because most of the work will have to be done at my house in Colorado Springs and I don't see a forum about providing services. Depending on the type of work, I may be able to come to you.

Since I still have my full time job, the jobs will have to be limited to repairs and small fabrication. I am free on weekends, or we can make arrangments for weeknights.

My fees depend on the type of work, but they are much less than a welding shop.

I had services rendered by him and he hooked me up by welding a piece that was once broken on my frame and now fixed thanks to his mad skillz. Thanx again Dallas!!

[R1chie]

Good to know, I don't need anything welded as of yet but if I do I know where to go. Glad you are getting some use out of your welder.

[dallas]

I figured it would help everyone out. Club members don't have to get bent over by going to a welding shop. About 5 or 6 years ago, I went to a welding shop to have my foot peg mount welded back to my dirtbike frame. It took the guy less than 15 min. including setup and he charged me $65!!!!

I have the equipment and the knowledge to use it, so why not give club members a break?

Dallas,
Can you do Aluminium or just steel?

[dallas]

Yes, I did Aluminum for Joel ($poiled Cookie), and I can do steel and all the exotic metals like Titanium and such.

[Bashed]

Good,
I have some work for you then.

I'll let the first one slide....wait, ok, the second one. The first one was my bike.

I'll def keep that in mind. I still feel like i owe you some cash for the boots. lol

No worries man. I got them as a package deal and they didn't fit me. No reason to have them collect dust at my house!!

[Bashed]

Thanks Dallas for your time and skillz.
Much better and inexpensive than a shop.
You the Man!

oooh.. Titanium, that could be entertaining. You'd need some pretty damn pure argon or something to keep that stuff from turning into fireworks.

Really, if you are good at welding Titanium and are willing to work on, uh, non-bike-stuff, I could probably come up with a little job.. like building a gate out of 3/4" rod or something.. whad'ya think?

I don't mind at all if it will fit in my garage.

Do you want a steel gate or a titanium gate?

I can do steel and aluminum pretty cheap, but doing titanium would be more expensive due to the cost of filler rod.

You are very welcome Man!!!

I don't know if you guys will be open this Friday, but probably next Friday, I can swing by the shop and check out tail sections we were talking about.

hey dallas... i need a exhaust welded up, right now the canister and mid-pipe are clamped, but id really like to have them welded... nothing exotic, just stainless...

let me know if you can do it, when, where etc...

oooh oooh ooh and a tip to a shift lever i broke off this morning!!!! Lol...

[TommyTheKid]

Steel is easy, I could probably even do it (wouldn't be pretty tho). The trouble with steel is, it rusts. I am not sure whether it would be worth it, but we have a bunch of surgical quality titanium rods ranging from proably 1/2 to 1"+ about 12' long that could be used to build something. Gates (stock gates) seemed like a good application cause they would be light and strong. I will find out if my dad is interested (its his titanium). At this point we only have ever used it thru the loops on one of those huge tarps (billboard signs) to tie it down over bales. We would probably purchase the rod/gas and supply that too. Its the skill that we are lacking.. oh that and equipment. the old 220v arc welder doesn't seem to fit the recommended equipment.

I don't mind at all if it will fit in my garage.

bumpity..... just had my M/C trailer worked on by Dallas.. stellar job, no lost digits or other appendages, despite him letting me use his chop saw.

Hey Dallas can you cut and extend crash bars on a vstar? the factory crash bars dont come out very far (not even past the foot pegs) was wondering if there was anyway to cut the ends and extend them to come out further kind of like the harley crash bars do? Let me know and I can send you pictures.

[dallas]

It shouldn't be a problem. Are the bars stainless, or just plated steel? You can bring it by either tomorrow or Friday after 4:30. I will be out of town this weekend, but I will be free after work all next week also.

[Jobe]

They are stainless...I mean worse case scenario I can have BFJ polish them afterwards, I a more concerned about getting bars extended that are actually functional...(ie can have the bike weight put on them without bending/snapping.)

Oh and how much?

[firegixx600]

How bout something like this..
It's kinda hard to fit a 35 under the bed

[dallas]

Oh and how much?

Depends on how much welding is invovled and much the stainless tubing will cost. Bring it by and I can see what needs to be done and how much material i need to buy.

That shouldn't be too bad because it is all straight bars.
