Welding high-tensile steel
Try Brian from smokey da boar. His machine shop over the road has some of the best welders in town.
Edited. I think his shop is called hardcore engineering. Could be wrong.

Re: Welding high-tensile steel
For sure Brian could do it. I've had him to some nice stuff before (not like what you're looking for but I know he could do it). Is the bike kickstand only? Pretty sure a normal gas welder could do it.

Kickstart, not stand. Stand would be easy, I could do it.

i think you should be able to get it stick welded for like $2 and have it work fine for at least a little while until it's a better time and it can be replaced.

Re: Welding high-tensile steel
Was quoted $80 for the cheap one, over $100 for the genuine part.
There may be another solution:
I found a different kickstart that will do the same job, second-hand, $30. One problem: the female part, which fits over the crank, is larger, but I was thinking if I make a sleeve out of mild steel pipe and insert it, then when I tighten it, it will hold.
The shiny kickstart on the right is the $30 one.
Ideas?
Address for Smokey da Boar? The Engineering shop?
OD, thanks, you may be right.

Re: Welding high-tensile steel
I'm not a welder, but I know high tensile is not easy to weld. A fella I live with is a master welder. He's at work in Oz at the moment, but I just sent him an email to ask him if its possible and how it should be done ie: stick, MIG or TIG. I will let you know as soon as he gets back to me mate ( probably in the next day or two)
