My oil filter housing bolt is stripped to the point of vise grips not being able to break it loose. Suggestions??

Take the bike to a welding shop, jam on a larger nut and have them tack it with a few spots. That shoold give you enough grip with a fresh 6-point socket and a long bar to get it free. Just before they hit it with the welder, unplug the brain box and disconnect the battery just to be safe.Ken Talbot -
