    Hi I have a tiny crack in the downpipe on my exhaust which I need welded before it gets any worse - just wondered if anyone can recommend someone good in or around Westbury?

    Thanks

    can you get to the crack ok? or do the fairings/bits in the way have to come off?
    is the metal quite rusty (mild steel) or quite shiney (stainless or chrome).....

    there are a few people on here who can weld, im a bit far away (Tidworth) but here if you get stuck.

    Hi yes its ever so easy to get too - nothing needs to come off - its mild steel.

    I'm hoping I can find someone a bit closer but if not I'll definitely come back to you.

    Thanks

    My father in law is a welder, does ornamental ironwork mainly but has welded up a friend's ZX6R downpipes several times. If you're able to whip the pipe off the bike and bring it over to Warminster I imagine he'd be able to assist.

    Remember to disconnect the bike battery before welding or it will turn into a skittle-ball champagne bomb...
