    I know Kiwi Indian does this sort of work, likely Geer's and/or Starklite would as well. Where do you live?

        You are welcome!

        Can you post some pictures of said engine and tranny cases and heads?

        As to engine cases you might find of interest Pisten-Bullys build

        Case story starts about page 8 or 9.

        EPIC Dedication and Determination in the MAN!

          I sent my cases to Juris Ramba in Latvia and he did a great job, However, after I posted pictures of the repairs on the now defunct Caimag site there were a couple of recommendations from members there on guys who specialize in these types of repairs stateside (but there's no access to those Caimag pages anymore). When you contact Greer's or Kiwi be sure to ask them for recommendations if they're not set up to repair your cases. Good luck, it's good to try and save them!
          Pisten Bully is Harry Roberts in Vermont.

            Thanks for all the info, I am working on this bike for a friend and I want him to make the call on who repairs it. He has to live with who does the repairs. I talked to two vendors at Wauseon and they both told me Indian aluminum is harder to fix than Harley.
            Thanks Again
