The only issue I see is makes this area even weaker than it already is, causing pockets to act as vibration areas...idk but plan on filling it in as said earlier.

Like docc said JB weld or Devcon aluminium. Its risky weld repairing porosity as it can end up just dissolving in front of the torch. It may just be on the surface anyway, hard to tell unless you get it x-rayed or ultrasonic tested. Ciao 2
docc Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 One of the interesting revelations about the V11 is that the "timing cover" is a key stressed member. Perhaps unique to the SpineFrames?

Perhaps unique to the SpineFrames? Yeah, it appears to be. I wonder if a guy could make a new motor mount setup that hugged the motor down near the oil pan instead..idk! I guess just do your best to keep the beast upright!

Hey, ya know P.Roper is fond of saying, "V11 don't crash well." One more thing he is right about . . . 1
gstallons Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Don't be too sad , certain Ducatis , when the sidestand breaks off , the engine case is destroyed . Leaving you with a very beautiful red bike that will cost twice it's value to repair . 2
