    Is it safe to weld?

    I have had motorcycles where it’s not safe to weld, but they had actual electronics. For a 73.5 is there any risk of frying anything MIG welding on the fender? Thanks

    No risk, although disconnecting the battery would be a good precaution.

    Magnesium will become bright fire. One might add this to the things of which to be cautious.

    It’s not that easy to start a Mag fire, no worries.

    Place the ground clamp as close to the weld area as possible,
