Engine Mounts Repair?

Hello again,
1965 CB77. The Frame has one of the rear 4 engine bolt tabs broke off. The missing tab is the top one near the tool box, left side. The other six ( 3 on top and 3 remaining in the rear) are fine. Do I find a welder to repair the missing bolt hole or can I safely run her on the remaining six?
Thanks, Lee

Let me know if you try and have it welded?

Thanks,
Kirk

Kirk, your's certainly looks like it could easily be repaired by a capable welder. Worth saving for sure since it's titled! Can't really say on the other without seeing it, but take it to a good welder and see what he thinks.

Kirk, Thanks for the photo. Mine is excaltly like the photo. I bought another frame from Charlie
and the same mount was split. Seems like there should be a common cause for this failure. I will attempt to take before and after pictures on the welding.
Thanks Davomoto & Kirk.

Seems to me a decent welder could cut the remainder of that tab off, fab a replacement and weld it in place.
