Very simple repair . Bore out the damaged threads ,TIG weld threaded
bush in it's place ,spot face welded area . For those unable to chase a
suitable internal thread,the repair bushing is available from Moto
International among other places.
Now make sure the BRASS exhaust gland nut is TIGHT ,REAL TIGHT ! Most
people use makeshift tools and never get the nut tight enough .
A little High Temperature Permatex brand Anti Sieze is a good idea too.

Does anyone know who does repairs on these and how much it runs? He was going to take it to a local machine shop, but I told him he should give it to someone who has done these before.
