[QUOTE="TENACIOUS T, post: 178126, member: 6127"] So here is my theory on why they get like that . Bike tips over - tears a hole in the hand grip - dirt goes in the handle bars - sets in there for 30 years rusting the threads on the bolt ! That's what I found . I might try this trick on the next one , If it broke off flush I would center punch it drill the hole out at least 75% - pound in an Allen wrench and try turning it in . Theory is - your working with clean threads going in - not the rusted threads coming out . Because the hole is a threw hole the stud will just fall out the end of the bars ( that's after you pry the Allen wrench out of the stud ) . Will it work ? [/QUOTE]
