Mr Condor, Good to know on the baffle and light issue. You folks are turning my lemon into lemonade with the extra knowledge. I tend to agree with Flyinfool that brakes are the most important thing on a bike. I will try to avoid fixing this and hopefully score a different one. However there is no harm in showing it to a few folks to see if it is possible to weld it and still be safe. I just wonder how long it has been that way and how many miles it went down the road broken. And BTW... No charge for the cutaway pictures!

So I just bought my 83 VR and was doing some basic maintenance before going on my maiden voyage for the year. I was checking fluid level and when I got to the rear brake reservoir, I put a wrench on this bolt, and this is what happened. I wonder what type of silicone the PO used? Nice.....
