    Was prepping my frame for powder and noticed a crack fissure, looks to be caused by rust and stress. Its just below the Left swing arm near the mount for the stand. Here is a picture. Any suggestions? I am not sure if welding is an option.

    A crack?? that's rust thru !!
    Find yourself a good gas welder guy who does car exhaust.
    A patch is easy, but a repair that is completely "factory" looking would require cutting out all the bad areas on both sides, and welding in from another frame.
    Fix it right and don't wory about it.
