Believe it or not, my racebike's rearset bracket is ripping off the frame mount point. It was bending for a while and i thought it was the bolt.

The bike crashed last year on its left side twice at the AFM races. Never saw any cracks before. It used to bend slightly but i thought the knock-off faceplate was weak OR the bolt

Finally this Monday during the last session at Sonoma; my foot slipped off the left peg at the Carousel and the footpeg was bent all the way inside. Later found the threaded section is ripping off

What are my welding options? Weld an aluminium plate on top and drill holes, OR ?
