Hey Doug I think maybe he has closed or relocated because I have searched that little complex for a machine shop and there are none. Any other machine shops in the area that are competent? Id really like to get this taken care of so I can take this bike out and ride it.

Sorry to hear that, the owner and his guys were really great. Hopefully they moved up and out of there...will have to try and locate a b-card for him.

Another choice are the guys who work out of the back of A-Line Auto Parts off Rundberg, sort of around the corner from there, down a couple miles on the right. They do good work, too. Just drive right around back and they should have the garage door open.

Whoever attempted the fix failed to center punch the broken bolt before drilling. The problem went from bad to worse but should still be salvageable. Start with the smallest drill bit you can find and try to drill at the top of the previously made hole. You may be able to center punch a new starting location just above where the drilled hole exist. You need to get back to the center of the broken bolt. Once the pilot hole is made, enlarge it until the easy-out will fit. It should come out faily easy as that print.

When removing broken bolts, center punching before drilling is required. Once off-center, the problem gets worse.
