What part needs welding?

Be aware that if its a painted frame the area for weld will need to have the paint removed, and the heat from welding will also damage the paint. Make sure all electrics are disconnected and taken off the frame also.

Any metal fabricator or engineering workshop should be able to weld it for you

Thats an easy enough fix for any ally welder. Just remember to disconnect the electrics on the bike before hand.

In the meantime, undo the bolt, chuck a 6mm penny washer on and do it back up. That'll keep it strong untill you get it welded
