I have only had 2 bases welded only due to being harder to find. One was a 500 twin 1st version only needed a patch put in as some fool cut a square piece out, and the other was a department store model 5 had more cracks than a mans club (you know with the red light). It was bad. Cost $100 for the 2 of them.

Here for a good time,not a long time.
