Soldering attempt was futile. I went a bought some Jb weld high heat and it was setting for maybe 3-4 hours and I tried doing some sanding on the weld and the bolt came off pretty easily. The Jb weld was still kinda moist. It was a bit crumbly. I'm thinking it hadn't cured totally yet. So I redid the Jb weld and secured it with a zip tie. It's tough to get any kind of pressure on the screw since it's so small and even a slip in any direction jacks everything up. If this doesn't work, there is a custome bike shop a half mile from work. I'm sure they could weld the bolt end back onto the bit that is still sticking out of the frame. Would that work? Is it possible to weld a broken bolt back together? I got really lucky and where the bolt snapped, I don't even get the nut down far enough to use those threads. It just has to be small enough to fit through the bolt hole in the exhaust flange.
I'm so mad at myself right now. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
