'bout the only solution that i can think of , that you haven't tried, would be to weld a 1/4 inch bolt into/onto the existing bolt . then you might be able to get a socket on it that way. it may be that others here have an easier solution. good luck. just jt

i have read EVERY post in this thread, and not one person thought to mention SAFETY! if you trailer your bike long distances, you are FAR less likely to become a "cager got me" statistic.the more time you spend in the saddle, the higher your chances of getting"nailed", or "struck by a critter". just my observation. just jt

today , i finally got around to taking the rear wheel off of my '86 to have new "elite III's put on.in the process of removing the muffler, i broke one of the exhaust collector "outflow tubes" off.my question now is, can i just fabricate a pair of 2into 1, manifolds/collectors, to replace the 20 plus year old piece of hardware? is there a REASON that all four cylinders must empty into a single box? thanks to any and all who respond. just jt

Mini. you've got a dead shot to ground, somewhere in that circuit.after you get EVERYTHING unplugged, try installing a new fuse.if it holds, then plug a lamp into each receptile , one at a time, until you find the culprit. hope that helps, just jt
