Hey I have a couple of bolts that have stripped allen heads I need to have a nut tig or mig welded to the head to try and get them out.
Thanks I also will be in the brentwood area tomorrow morning for a Dr's appointment.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks jay
 
To answer your question: Just about anyone competent with a MIG welder can do the job. So, your best option is likely the closest welding or fab shop to save gas and scheduling. Also, you will have to remove the gas tank and other nearby flammable things no matter who does the repair.

Related questions are: Why is the allen screw rounded inside/stripped? Corrosion, locktite, cross threading or a cheap/ worn down allen wrench?
Are the allen screws easily accessed? If not, a welder may have trouble getting in to it.
Why don't you just drill out the Allen screw till its head falls off and then remove the cover that it's holding in order to get vice grips on the remaining stud? Any moto shop will do this for you. Automotive repair shops will too.
Have you tried pounding an oversized torx socket into the rounded allen screw's head?
 
Have used the torx and heat also have used the small easy outs. Have got 9 of the 12 out so far
