After a accident, this frame piece cracked.

front view

Would it be better to try to repair it( a shop said they could weld it back) or get a new one.








I think it just holds the front flaring and turn signal up so i bet it doesnt hold alot of stress for glue. also look at the other damaged pieces-- any advice on repairs or replacement.

Air Scoop


the last thing item, when i went down on the left side the handle bar landed with the bar all the way turned left. i think it bent it to far.




again

does it look like it is bent to close to the bike?

They are about $100 new, in my opinion you are best off replacing it rather than doing fixes that may or may not work. That piece is made out of magnesium, so if you do weld it, be careful!

Also the handle bar tube is cheap, I'd get a new one if the slight bend bothers you.
