HAWK Exhaust Plate Bolt Broke

NickThrash · 10-22-2017, 12:39 PM

Hey guys, I went off road-ing the other day with my hawk and on my way home I heard a weird rattling sound, just before I pulled into my drive way. I gave the bike a look around and saw the plate that holds the exhaust up to the motor was dangling around. I noticed one bolt missing and the other one had the nut just about to fall off.

So at first I thought I lost the bolt but after a closer look I saw the broken half of the bolt still in the motor.

Im wondering if anyone has an idea of a solution for this. Id be very nervous with drilling the bolt out as I would assume the bolts holes are open all the way inside the motor (Could be wrong). But also doing any drilling like that, close to the casing would freak me out.

At This point I've had so many bolts break or just fall out, on the hawk. That im starting to recommend everyone, who would buy one, replace EVERY SINGLE piece of hardware on this bike. I pretty much have at this point...
