I would hammer the mounts back into proper position and then remover the rearsets. Remove the paint from the surrounding area and clean it all well.

At that point you should be able to run a good size bead around the area with a MIG welder using standard wire (or TIG if you wanted).

The frame is some type of steel, though not Chrome moly (4130).
The recessed area needed to be plated as stated in post #14. The area where the rearsets mount to is really thin with just a nut inside welded. Plating it will prevent the thin sheetmetal from flexing. Overkill would be to gusset the outside and inside of the frame.
