Just got back from the 2nd shop. They said that it is no problem to fix, and gave me a special deal (brother in blue that owns the shop). 150.00 repaired and painted. Even if the repair looks flimsy I can always sell it on Ebay and most likely get more out out of it than I have in it.
Without the backrest, lock and the mount I will have a total of 325.00 into this pack...and it is an Ultra pak with the lights in the back (which is what I wanted). I just got some speaker pods off ebay for a bill and change and I ordered a Mustang Backrest to match my seat. I THINK that I am ahead of the game so far, and I know that the shop I took the pak to will stand behind their work. I was just re-assured by a co-worker that they stand by their work as well.
LOL...I can see people trying to pass off their crap. I couldn't do that to anyone else. I would be honest in the ads (NO BULLSHIT). I just honestly believe that someone will buy it as I am amazed at the prices some of the JUNK is selling for on Ebay right now.
I was trying to get a black lid instead of painting this one (figured I could more or less swap them out through ebay sale and purchase) but all of the ones I found had holes in the top for a rack and the ones that didnt were goinf ro over 200.00. The broken up bottoms were selling for ~125.00 in the auctions I was following.

To stop the crack from continuing, before doing the repair, drill a small hole at the end of the crack then do the repair.This is what I was always told how to stop a crack before welding up.
Got the TP today. Had to meet the painter because it was not ready when I left that part of town from work. Got it home and there were a few particles in the paint on the top For the price I figured what the hell. Got the backrest on, Custom Dynamics LEDS and smoke lenses, lock, etc. I didn't install the Premium hinges or latches yet as we have a ride tomorrow night to make a few donations. Got everything installed and working right....but I didn't take pics of the TP before it fell of the bench and landed on the lid. Got a few nice scars that will have to be resanded and repainted. That'll have to wait until after Thanksgiving now!
The crack repair in the side worked great. I could not even tell that the crack was there (inside or out). Even after the fall, there is no evidence that there was a crack in the side.
Here is a quick vid of the CD LED's:
I was able to use the CD Magic Convertor for Tour Paks to wire in the lights. I still have to install the Hogtunes speaker pods (they appear to have a different pattern than stock) and wire those in. That'll require some deutsch connectors as well.
