It looks like the weld on the fuse broke from vibration.... where the bar attaches to the end

That sounds like you're still using the GLASS tube fuses, they have soldered ends and can be hard to see the filament inside.
IF so, you really should look at changing to the ATCO style solid fuses and holder. The brass pressure clips of the glass type also can weaken and fail as well.

I would say have the frame blasted first then powder coat it.79 SF

Wish I could post a photo, he did a great job polishing all of the raised aluminum edges after he applied the black powder coat. Only $40 and had it done in two days! Guy works until 4 AM some nights. . .
I asked for a rough/ballpark estimate and was told $350-400 for a frame, not including the swingarm. Things are more expensive in Canada, generally speaking, but that's quite a difference to what you're paying.80 SG Canada

Yeah, he takes on a lot of projects so he keeps his costs down. Just wish my aluminum polisher was as cheap! I've got about 18 brushed aluminum pieces on this bike that will need to polished.79 SF
