found a broken exhaust stud on the left front.
i took off the left side exhaust, removed the broken piece, now

should i replace all the studs or just the ones that "look" bad?

p.s. bought 6 new studs/nuts and 3 gaskets.

thanks

p.p.s. i think i found the popping i've been looking for too Cheesy

I wouldn't mess with the studs that will still work. Put anti-seize on the threads when you
reinstall the nuts, and carefully recheck the nuts after the first few rides as the new gaskets
get fully seated...

just finished putting it all back together. looks good so far.
also found the rubbing on the left rear tire. changed to a carrage bolt all is good now.

i have to say, if you can swing it, but a lift(not a jack), picked up a "hanley" lift used for 500
best money we ever spent.
no more crawling around on the floor for THIS fat old man cooldude cooldude

also thanks for the input.
