I've been cruising all over town for the past 2 months, and I have been pretty proud of my moto. The little HT is a runner!
I've solved countless problems and I am going to be super prepared when I decide to build my next motorized bicycle.
I was riding yesterday and noticed a loud vibration at 20+ mph. Wisely, I stopped to inspect all the bolts. The rear motor mount nearest the the moto chain had sheared off completely, flush to the engine block.
My first effort was to dremel in a slot on the stud. Fail. Just wouldn't give. OK, let's try the "easyout" screw extractor thing. Fail number 2. I suspect that I drilled a bit out of line and got into the aluminum. The stud refused to turn.
I have taken a break to decide on my next course of action. I am not gonna give upon this.
My complaint is that I have wasted a lotta time I would have prepared to spend riding. I am driving my damn car now!
