And I go with the fellows who said get it welded, but the engine still has to come out etc. So you are looking at a lot of work.

Don't know about that. It is a plug used when an engine problem is suspected with the crank or bearings. Supposedly you pull the plug to see if there are metal shavings before you tear an engine down...

what about pulling the battery and drain the fluids, maybe even pull exhaust and lay bike over on some carpet or something soft and weld. as long as you got a good view of it , it could be done. just has to be very clean.

Before I spent $3200, I would talk to a good welder. I wrote procedures for a couple years for weld repairs (just the machine end of prep) for submarine and air craft carrier parts. It's weldable. Forget glue unless it just a 35 mph around home bike.

I have a friend with a busted engine case on a 2006 Screaming Eagle Fat Boy. It broke when trying to install the crank case plug... Harley wants over $3200 to get new cases and install. And the dealer is not budging any on the price.. Money is tight, any ideas? Does not appear to be able to be welded... The bike is still at his house. Going to call a few other dealers..
Anyone know a great Indy in the South Georgia or North Florida area?
Ride safe,
