Getting me white pants tunes up and went to change the tires, oil, brakes, new chain, clean the carb etc... Got the tirea done, and had to take the v&h exhauat system off to do the oil change...barely touched the first aluminum nut and the bolt snapped! Crap, it broke at the nut so I'm sure I can figure something out or leave penetrating oil on it and get it off tomorrow with some heat and vice grips...get the rest off, oils changed and new exhaust gaskets put in. Line the stupid exhaust up and get a few of these stupid nuts one (with antiseize) and get a few started here and there and finally get two on cylinder #1 so I start to torque them down and ...snap! This time at the head! I'm so ticked off right now guys...any suggestions? Probably just swap the motor out with the cafe project but I don't have time for that anytime soon!
