Hind sight is 20/20 but I should have started taking pics from the beginning, I was so intent on removing the broken stud I forgot to document the procedure for my friends here on NGW…. but here goes.
I had one exhaust stud break off flush with the head. 1st step was to center punch the broken stud, then drill completely through the stud. Let it be known I have always hated “easy outsâ€

People ask us why we ride a motorcycle. For those who have experienced the joy, no explanation is necessary; for those who have not, no explanation is possible.
