hi there!

I would like to ask if anyone could assist me on my viper fugitif frame issue. I'm located here at manila, philippines and was able to purchase a very nice viper fugitif bike. I was doing some trail riding but not the "rough and tumble" kind. I'm too old for that kind of riding, I,am 40 y.o.  Anyway, attached with this are some pics of the bike and the frame damage. Sure hope you could help me on this, right now I don't know if i'll just bring it to a welder or change the rear portion that is damaged. Is there any way that I can buy the rear portion that is damaged? how much would it cost if ever? I have a good friend that is located in london, he could help me out with the shipping and payment. Hope to hear from you guys soon...couldn't wait to ride again. Thanks!

If it's more than two years old bin it.

If it's less than Two years old and you bought it in Europe, send it back to where you bought it from for a new rear triangle or replacement. A welded repair won't last long unless you can heat treat it.

Sir John, i ask a favor from my filipino friend who is working in u.k. to buy me viper fugitiv, then shipped to me here in manila, never been in europe, i tried to contact him through email to help me on this but as of now there was no reply, maybe he is busy in work, i also emailed viper company and informed them my problem, also no reply up to now.

 Can't find a good welding shop here in manila who do aluminum welding and heat treating. thank you for the suggestion and advice sir.
