Hey guys so I am in a complete loss of what to do.
My rear shock bolts are striped completely the bushing is slipping and the acorn is like a cap doesn't really screw down at all.
The bolt is welded to the frame so I can pull it, I am very limited on tools. What are my
Options??
Was thinking:
-retap the threads but then I am making the bolt smaller cutting the threads and it would maybe be less safe with a small nut?
-cutting the bolt and drilling the frame push a new put through and either have it welded in or just tighten
That's what I got.
I have been working on my bike for over a year making her pretty getting engine and electrical damn close to right, just need to tweak on the carbs.
So i had my buddy come by the house to check out the carbs, I had to switch to Uni filters but I added an extender and working to create something similar to stock (it wasn't for look as I run with sidecovers, long story shot I went to clean the stock filter and it was a piece of mattress pad broken plastic and a little not that explains why it ran like garbage with the jacked up box not to mention the critter that must have been living in there at one time) so hence pulled that broken box to try something new.
Basically we came to the conclusion that it might be best to sell it before I put in more then I paid for it.
Please help me keep my love and ride her,
I'm sure somebody has had this happen
