Anybody have any recommendations on a happy homeowner welder so I can weld gussets etc on my KX? 120 vs 220?

Thanks in advance

I have a little ole $80 piece from Harbor Frieght and Tools. For no more than I weld it is a great piece for me.

Any Lincon or Miller buzz box should do you fine.

I have a Hobart Handler,runs on 110 and does great on small to fairly big jobs.But I have a Linde for the real big stuff,the Hobarts all Ive used on my bikes or the best would be a TIG welder.

I forgot to mention as a precaution I always remove any thing electrical from being grounded or connected to the frame when Im welding on my bike so it doesnt short it out or fry my ignition.

my buddy is experienced welder. he owns a couple different welders[tig,220v mig and 110v mig]ive seen him weld broken kickstart levers,broken perches,subframes,frame gussets,exhaust pipes and almost every other weldable part on a motorcycle with his 110 mig.he says a good 110v mig will do most motorcycle and auto repairs.here is a pic of his welder and some motorcycle parts he welded.
