Can I just braze this, or should I get it welded?
Are you kidding or what? No way you're gonna fix that without high quality duct tape. Black.
Stop being so mean to me all the time, Mole.
I asked a serious question.

Hey! My top piece looks like that, too!
But, it's stuck in the heavy part with the fins that get so hot. If I get it out, my cousin says he can weld it and sand the round thing smooth. He works at a shop. He said to use the sinthetec oil next time. Its pretty dang expensive.
Just hit it with the metal thing, it'll be fine.

Don't worry about it. You don't need it anyways :thumb: It just adds weight to the bike slowing it down.
Michael
But really can I just leave it out?
If I put a bolt in instead of the spark plug on that side.
Could I just fill the whole with JB weld?
Its alot liter anyway.
If it cuts my horse power in half thats not so bad. I can live with that. Its not as fast as my cousins bike anyway. I just want to learn how to put my knee down.
He cant do that and I want to do it.
Believe it or not, a harley can lost that rear cyl and still work. I have heard of a sportster where the rear cyl was removed and blocked off wiht a wooden plate. No rod, no cyl, no head no cam, no nothing. A 1 cyl. Google it, you may find it, it was supposedly very common mod in the old days.
Cool.

So it works then! I new it!
Thats great cuz now I dont have to pay my cousin. He wanted $400 and I just dont have that kind of mony.
Thats a funny joke about my name. Homer is my AOL name cuz thats what my dad calls me. Do you have AOL chat on your computer?
My job is really at Pet Smart. Im a Assistant Sales Asociate.
You'll have to remove the flywheel from that side and regrind the counterbalancer to make it work without having to rebuild the motor every year from having to replace the crankshaft bearings, becasue the crank will be so out of ballance. But other than that, bending a rod is like adding cc's.
Holy crap how did your handlebars get bent like that?
I wouldn't try to weld them because you can get a new set way cheaper than $400.
Your cousin is a jerk for trying to rip you off and I hate him.

I was thinking it was a milk issue as well. Like using powdered :o
But I think you've hit it... the milk has leaked out.
Michael
hey thats CUSTOM!!!! :woohoo:
assuming you are asking a serious question, I would guess the crank journal is probably gouged to the point of being unrepairable. on the other hand, if this is a rhetorical, or humorous question, be sure to check you muffler bearings while its torn apart. the pic is for a car, but should be similar on the gs

Replacing the worn muffler bearing is a waste of time if you don't remember to check ( and adjust if necessary ) the free play in your Johnson Rod, and this applies to bikes as well as cars and trucks.
As a side note, if any of you have boats you need to remember the importance of lubricating theses parts with Relative Bearing grease prior to re-assembly.
well I just serviced my johnson today, repacked it, and lubed it up for the season. should be good to go for many weekends of fun this summer!
