Looks like my S1W has a stud broke on the front cylinder. Is the jim's tool worth the money or should I buy one of the E-bay tools for $60? Anyone have a tool they want to sell?
IS it ok to ride or do I have to leave it sit til it's fixed?

listen to buellistic NO RIDING!!

was there any locktight on it? If there was it is going to be harder to get it out!

My friend is a professional machinist and runs a bike race and repair shop. The last time i had him get my broken stud out. It took him 2 hrs!

there is a problem somewhere in the exhaust system that is causing the stud to snap, You need to find it and fix it before you break more studs later on.



I have had to fix my studs more than once! (Notice the stud(s) are not rusted, They were new)

Some people never have this problem. I had this problem to many times.

The last time I fixed one, I put anti-seize on it, not loctite.: )

do not know if it has loctite on it but don't think so(one rear stud came out when i changed header). I just switched back to the Force cause it sounds better than the V&H and noticed the stud snapped off about 1/8" in the head. I'm pretty sure it snapped cause I tightened it too much(I like to tighten shit too much). Anyone use the stud drill tool off E-bay that is $60? Do they work or just buck-up for the Jim's tool?
