Trigger:
Just had a look in the store and I have a left fork case in good condition if you require one. The right one had a snapped bolt that someone made a mess of trying to drill out.

Johnwebley:
difficult to say,you need to check the bore size,externally they look the same

Ok, about to show just how new I am to this.... when you say left, do you mean left as seen by the rider? 
If so, it's the same side as my good case.
I looked into the laser aluminum brazing rods, they look pretty good, might give a try repairing with those.
Any thoughts?

Trigger:
Left is your left hand as you sit on the bike. I have a good left fork case when you are requiring a right one. Am i right?

matthewmosse:
Pretty sure on my bike it was the left side one that lost a big chunck. I would be wary of welding on brake mounts without x ray to check it is good right to the root, maybe over the top but a small crack at the root of a welded joint can proporgate and grow -I never did welding on alloy but when learning welding at collage, destructive testing of welds really made you realise how a tiny flaw in the form of poor root fusion could grow and snap a weld that was thicker than the parent material. I know nothing of these low temp alloy fusion methods so am happy to stand corrected.
