Default Broke an exhaust bolt!

I figured today would be a good day to replace the exhaust gaskets. While I was at it I'd wrap the pipes. Now I have the tank and carb off! Intake is next and head to follow. . I figured rather then f with it I'd bring the head to a shop and have them remove the stud.This sucks! It's going to be a good weekend, my last one before vacation ends. I hope I can get the head off tonight...tomorrow morning bring it to the shop and maybe they get it out and I'm back on the road this weekend.

But I doubt it.

I got the head to the shop this morning. They already have a jig set up for this job. They say no problem...exept it's Friday afternoon. I should see it by Tuesday of nextweek. I feel better now.
Any idea how much the gaskets and o rings will cost?
