What happened to the JB Weld thread?
There was a thread... "Best JB Weld fixes" or something like that...did we lose it?
ugh... anyway, here's my most recent... Cracked the left side case on my crf450. Laid it down in a creek and an unlucky rock pushed the shifter into the thin magnesium case and cracked it in a couple places... so i JB'd it! Did it all fancy, taped off the area and everything... Reason: New sidecase is almost $400!! So, lets see your fixes!

I could have tig welded it for ya. Does look pretty damn impressive though!
I had a chain ram into the rear of my 400EX's case and split it and had success with the same method. No pics though. ;)

I could have welded it myself, but would have had to pull it off... i would never trust it welded, just as i wont trust it jbwelded. this was just to get the bike back on the trail til i locate a used case half.
thanks tho!

i don't have any pics, my best use of it was when i blew a chunk out of my stock tank on my yj, appartently my vents must have plugged, and my cap wasnt' venting either, my turn down for a tail pipe fell off on my way to work one day (1.5 hours each way back then), and all teh hot exhaust was blowing right onto my full tank, busted the tank right at the seem. i jb welded that ***** the next day, and it is still going strong today, 10 years and 100,000 plus miles later.

wow, metal or plastic tank?
I need to dig up my last fix pics... glued vw cv bolts in with it, and repaired a brake caliper... held the rest of the weekend at livingston, and we beat the **** out of it.

Found them.... This cv held the rest of the weekend, in fact it took some serious work to get it off to do a real repair. The caliper held amazingly well also. the black tape was just to hold it in place while the JB dried...

I remember that day. And the "fireworks" that night.
