    Bolt extractors

    I have plans with Torren to try and weld a nut onto it this weekend, taking the exhaust back off is no problem since its barely in there. If that doesn't work I'll definitely be taking frekeyguy up on the offer or taking to my buddies shop in Toronto...You think I would need to trailer it? I...

    Bolt extractors

    Impact "screw" driver (hit on top with hammer) was what I had tried but it wasn't able to get a good grip and kept slipping so I stopped before I hit anything I didn't want to. It's a tight spot to try and fit a dremel in there, that was the best slot I was able to get but I don't think it was...

    Bolt extractors

    This is what I'm dealing with. frekeyguy, if my plans with Torren fall through or doesn't work I'll take you up on that. I still have to get the rest of the bike together and fired up...finally ran the harness and now just have to get the carbs in, hoses ran, and should be good to go aside...

    Bolt extractors

    Well I tried to remove it this past weekend with no success, didn't try an extractor yet but an impact screwdriver did f all. I found out some jackass previous owner had over torqued a couple of the valve cover bolts...one was already helicoiled and the other just wanted to spin. So between...

    Why don't they wave back?

    Nothing that interesting...most days anyways. I am a commercial photographer in the city, shooting some scarves and other clothing on a model so we have a whole crew in today; stylist, hair and makeup, art director, and myself shooting.

    Why don't they wave back?

    lol, don't even know how to respond to that. I just got a wierd look from everyone on set for laughing out loud.

    Why don't they wave back?

    No but they drive on the other side of the road so for someone to see it you would either be waving across your body or lifting your throttle hand.

    Texting while on a private road in Alberta = FINE

    Haha, I've done the same depending on what they are watching. I get wifi in the vehicle for the amusement of kids on long trips or for business, which I would think and hope was the intended use...but its a persons choice let themselves become distracted. It all boils down to people not...

    Wow, that is ridiculous. She commits what is basically manslaughter and gets a $500 fine and some demerit points?!? :banghead:

    Bolt extractors

    Yes, motor is in Barrie. It looks like it is the original bolt from '89 so I would think that it would be as hard as it could be from all the heat cycles it has been through in it's life time. I am planning to try and remove this weekend. I forgot to take a photo last night but I have a...

    Why don't they wave back?

    I get why they don't in Aus and UK, would be a bit tricky to wave with the throttle hand. Likewise I'll give a nod instead of a wave if I need to keep both hands on the bars.

    Why don't they wave back?

    Just came across this list and thought I would share some lolz. Not new, but for all the youngsters and those who still don’t know why… Top Ten Reasons Why Harley Riders Don’t Wave Back 10. Afraid it will invalidate warranty. 9. Leather and studs make it too heavy to raise arm. 8. Refuse to...

    Bolt extractors

    Certainly did...head snapped right off of the bolt on the last f'n bolt. I'm trying to avoid moving the engine though, I have it on a table I made and getting it up there was enough of a pain that I couldn't imagine trying to get it in and out of the car. If I can't get it out myself, I may...

    Bolt extractors

    I may if all else fails, or if I start spending too much time on it. Almost ready to put the engine back in so I'm hoping to task this week.

    Looks like I'm back to the extractor method then, there is only about 1/4" sticking out on the head.

    Bolt extractors

    Just a quick question for anyone who has dealt with broken exhaust bolts in the head. How well do the extractors work? Any tips or tricks to know ahead of time? I am trying to get it out by dremeling a slot and using a flat head impact first but if that doesn't work I'm on to the...
