Yep! You got that right! All the years of wrenchin and I've only had one success case. The rest were nightmares.....but do you think I'd learn!? NO! :roll: Because I used one successfully once.....there's always that chance I may hit another jackpot!....which...uh...wasn't the case with my 'factory crossthreaded' bolt in my X-Moto's plastic fork protector mounting bolt.
It's now runs on 1 bolt wth a snapped EZ-out in the other cross-threaded hole. :oops: :x

That is one big QC thing I've found on the CB's that are like no other. Some of the bolts are truly made of hard cookie dough. Extreme metal quality inconsistencies.
