HTS-2000 aluminum brazing rods
 

Girard posted a link to this awhile ago. (www.aluminumrepair.com) I bought a lb. of rods to try. The stuff works awesome! In ten minutes I fixed a worn out brake pedal buy filling the hole and redrilling. All you need is a Propane/Mapp torch to fix anything like this you might break on a bike. Guards, levers, subframe cracks, etc. Supposed to even work on cases that have oil impregnation, where Tig is a big problem. Check out the video, with the lap joint being beaten with a hammer and not breaking. I replicated that tonight and its no BS. Opens up doors to fix things that would previously be junk, without a big $$ Tig welder. Good tool.

I saw a demo at the Seattle bike show last Dec , stuff is pretty amazing, wish I would have bought some then but I was leaving the country for a few months and did'nt want to pack it with me

I bought a pound of these rods last year when I broke something on my bike.:eek:

They are awesome!:cool:

I've used these to build a few things for different motorcycles. They work great but some practice is needed. Really think aluminum is not going to get hot enough.

Cool stuff...I'm bookmarking that site :-)

Yep, it does take some practice to use properly. I have some stashed in the garage for fixing things.
When done right, it makes a very strong weld- stronger than the parent metal.

Brazed my cracked rim yesterday. Looks really nice.

Okay, I hesitate to say this but I will. Where I brazed the crack I got a ridge all the way across the rim. It's hard to explain what I mean, but I seems apparent that the rim was originally brazed together from the factory
