[QUOTE="kawahonda, post: 177985, member: 9759"] Working on my right handlebar on my CT70K0. The right handlebar came with a broken off stud. I've waited until yesterday in an attempt to extract it. It looked easy enough, I thought. I let some oil soak through overnight and then I begun. Vice grips. Nope, that's not working. Welded a nut on the stud. Broke the stud off even with the surface while trying to turn. OK, great. Drilled a hole through. Gradually got larger until I was near threads. Against my better judgement, my friend was over, and he told me to EZ out it. What I tried to tell his ass was that if it didn't come off with a welded nut, it is NOT coming off with an EZ out. Against my better judgement, I did what he said. Snap...there goes the EZ out tip. This is WHY I like to work alone. Since then I've been pounding on it. Not sure when/if I should just give up and get some reproduction bars. I would really, really prefer to use my bars, as they are a 8/10 condition and I have no problem using them on a restored bike.
