    Help!!! I have two exhaust studs that have snapped off. I'm lucky as they have not snapped at the base so can get grips on them. My problem is I have tried to heat them and have sprayed them with wd40, but they will not budge. Does anyone have any more solutions to getting them out. Cheers in...

    Ok, it's been a bit of a stand still as I have had to buy some tools. Have had problems with taking the exhaust off, I snapped two bolts and so stopped to get an extraction tool. Also bought a number of other tools just in case I get any more problems. So tomorrow the engine and everything else...

    Cheers Goldy, yer it's more that I could of hoped for at this point, but taking it apart is really the easy part. Being able to put it back together will be the major test. I think the cost will be the major stopping point. I will only be able to get one or two parts done each month. But I took...

    I'm not actually looking for mint secondhand wheels, more like New retro wheels. To be honest I'm not 100% sure what I will do until I get the wheels off. I have found what looks like a reputable company that are specialist in powder coating bike frames and parts. Have done a little bit...

    Well that's the air filter housing and battery box off. Having trouble with the exhaust's, the bolts fixing them to the frame are solid. Will have to buy a blow torch and try to heat them up as to break the seal that has developed. I'm going to post some pics and I would be very grateful if...

    Thanks for the advice, I already have a rotary wire attachment for my drill and I had a little test clean on the engine and I was happily surprised that it's just a build up of dust accumulated since its been parked in the garage since 1988. As for the engine, it has good compression. The frame...
