head light ear fix

not an earth shattering job, but an easy how to,
the 3 hot spot welds that hold the ear to the post had broken away making the fairing look like it was about to take off.
so the first step was to clean up the post where the weld had torn through

then drill a larger hole than the tear in the ear

then line them up so all lined up to original spot


then welded the whole shebang back together

not to the standard of Jonesy or Bretts welding but it should stick
  like I say not amazing but just saved them from the rubbish
