Had mine welded. It started cracking again an inch away from the weld. I just rode until the crack was almost all the way around the frame. Probly not a good idea though. I hope my new frame last. I'll be tightening my cage every chance I get this time, lol.

Mine started cracking just before the neck, towards the bottom. Then the second crack started pretty much on the weld and made its way all the way around.

I was getting desperate at that point.
It actually slowed the crack from going upward a little, there was nothing I could do about it attacking the neck weld.

I was going to say get it welded then a plate welded on top ,but that frame is toast, I would buy a freash one and get it renforced before you ride.

The aluminum is heat treated. When you weld it, you have to get it heat treated again (I dont know how you would do that) otherwise its only a fraction of the strength.
