So you just bought this bike, correct? Did the bike have a broke frame and connecting rod when you bought it? Where is the frame broken??

motor was making noise, and yes frame was broke, in about 4-5 places, do you think it would be safe to weld it, an put another motor in it?

I'm not sure I'd risk a 3-4 cracks. Unless you are gonna keep it in 1st gear going no more than 40mph I wouldn't risk it.

was doing about 110 on it the other day with 3 motor mount bolts missing and frame broke, before it snapped a rod

Genius. In that case, I'm sure you'll be fine

lol the cracks are not bad, and not all the way through either, was gonna paint and then powdercoat it black
