So, I have a two part question. Does anyone know where I can find a set of new exhaust studs for a 1980 CB 650 C? I've checked all of the local hardware shops, automotive, etc sadly to no avail.
The second part being, is there any decent way to rethread the ports that were stripped? I've tried helicoil before but I don't think that is a great solution. One of the POs must have had the pipes on and off of the bike quite a bit because just about all of the threads are chewed up in one way or another. Either the studs themselves or the actual ports they screw into. I'm thinking about replacing the head but that may be more work / money than it is worth. Any ideas?
Thanks!
