    If you can't weld, then bolt on would be best, plus you can go back to stock.

    You will need an alignment jig or build one on a table to keep it straight if you weld...

    My question is with the offer to go riding today, why are you still on here?

    So do you plan your rides around motels, must be kind of expensive having to stop every hour. :roflmao::roflmao::devil:

    By the time you purchase all the parts and find someone to weld it together you could have bought another Sporty. Then ya can trade them both in for a big boy ride. You sure you haven't been inhaling the exhaust in a closed area? :roflmao::roflmao:
