Author Message   Prophet Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 03:11 pm:        The 5/16" bolts stripped the threads out of the aluminum as the bike fell to the concrete. It appears that there is enough meat to retap to 3/8", drill clearance in the bracket, and have wrench clearance for the larger bolts. Any arguments for or against this fix? Any other fixes that are better?   Gowindward Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 - 05:46 pm:        Here's what I did when the thread broke off my pivot bolt. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/404553.html?1224184745   Prophet Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 01:35 pm:        Dear Gowindward: Thanks for the info. Mine is a different problem, the mounting bolts pulled out of the engine case. I will catalog your fix for a future headache.
