Try left handed drill bit to drill it, but not to bad to drill that out and re-tap it.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

Nut and bolt will work in a pinch, hehe. Pretty sure the correct size is M8 1.25 pitch.2H7 (79) owned since '89

There was enough through on the bottom side to get out with a small vise grips. Luckily I had the old handlebar bolts of the Suzi 550 and they are the same size...looks like I'm still ridin' tomorrow!Originally posted by bikerphil View PostCurrent Daily Rides / Projects
