iv'e never heard of metal tak before.

i was pretty irritated about the first crack because i called two bros up and told them about it and they pretty much told me to screw off, i mean the dam thing is cracked right on the weld so there has got to be something at fault with the weld. i weigh 160 and hit pretty big jumps, but not to where it should crack. i'll try to post pics of it soon

I would be willing to think that they did not use the correct filler rod that is why it cracked , and is your shock valved corectly , at the end of a long moto how hot is the resi , but more than likly thay used the wrong filler rod ( to hard ) I have alot of experince with tig welding alum

thats what i was thinkin...it had something to do with the weld.

as you can see i had this guy at a local shop fix the left side....now it looks like i gotta get the right side fixed too :(

Twobros sucks. But I do like a lot of their stuff. The ols style swinger was theirs its not a rebagged billetware the new ones are. I have had a few of the swingers. And I've never cracked one. But it does sound like a bad weld. Get it fixed locally. It shouldn't be much.
