Looks good. Do you have a projected finishing date? And what is this biker bar called?

I'm glad to see you brought it to someone that knows what they're doing to have it welded. Now go buy a little MIG welder to do all the various welding that you still need done.
Learning to weld on an area that could cost you your life is foolhardy at best. Having your frame come apart at 60 would definitely ruin your day. 150 bucks for your ass is pretty cheap in my book.

It doesn't hurt to bend then to get them out, just don't punch the bore. The shift shaft seal will lever out. I have a little corkscrew tool that pries them out, but you can lever it out with a screw driver underneath one side, again being careful not to get against the bore-you can even soften the corners of a screwdriver, or small pry bar. It does not need or want to come straight out.The only strength to these seals is a thin metal band on the outside, and it will bend easily, at which point it will come right out. I assume you will replace the clutch rod seal, too VERY important.
