Good to know you have local talent! I am curious as to where the frame broke? From the other makes tht I looked closely at, the Kymco had a very heavy duty frame. Glad it is an easy fix!!
Jason is the most talented welder I have ever known, especially with alloys that will go "poof" like a sparkler stick, I remember it took him a couple days to do my VW, a half inch at a time, right to the point the mag alloy is about to catch fire, then let it cool a few hours while working on another project, then another half inch, that was with older technology, with todays modern welders, he could probably zip it right out
I will track down where my unit is next Tuesday (out of town for weekend) and snap a photo, service manager told me they were going to strip it down, before they have the welder look at it, and figure out logistics between the 2 shops
as much as it might cost me, I can't replace it, nearly all the units my local dealer has, are used, but some new units are trickling in from the mfgrs
broken frame explains the brakes too, brake line broke along with the frame
