Does anyone here have experience with having broken bolts/screws/taps burned/welded/eroded out of bike parts?
I just bought a 1984 Honda Interceptor 500, and while taking off the front fender, broke off two of the 6mm bolts that attach the fender to the fork sliders. Because removing the fork tubes is a major pain on these particular forks (does "backup ring" ring a bell for anyone) I can't drill straight into the remains of the broken bolts, and would prefer to have someone use spark erosion, plasma, etc. to burn the bolts out.
If anyone knows of a place near Minneapolis MN that can do this sort of thing I would love to hear about it.
