I really think it is just bent shift fork, but I want to make sure she is 100% so I am going to upgrade while I have her open. Got a back cut tranny, welded crank, stainless valves..... But, I found a major problem that I didn't see when I bought the bike. One of the exhaust bolts is broken off, and there is no room to tap and use an Allen head bolt. I need a clean head with no broken fins, and no begin exhaust bolts. It can be completely stripped..... I need your help guys, there are none on eBay, and I know someone on here has one laying around they aren't using. Here is the kicker....I need to get it cheap. The wife is PISSED about how much money I have spent on this bike. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.
no room to tap --
Good Fortune!

Early 6mm or later 8mm?
Have a picture?
I can even find a junk head on here. I have a couple I am welding up. All my good heads are sold.
The last 2 I sold had exhaust stud area welded up.
Find a good machinist, they can get it out, or a shop with an EDM machine for burning out broken parts.

If you need to weld aluminum, not so long time ago I paid $125 to repair block hole about 2"x4".
