Exhaust Studs
Had purchased new exhaust studs awhile ago, but never actively went to change them.
After my last rip, I had to remove my exhaust and one of the OEM studs started to move with the exhaust nut. I was able to easily separate the stud and nut.
The attached picture shows the new exhaust studs I was thinking of installing.
The new ones can be installed with an Allen bit on one end.
Any pros/cons?

Can't see how that (the hex on the end) would hurt anything, but I don't see it as being particularly useful either.
If the time comes when you want to remove them, and they're stubborn, jamming two nuts on the end will work just as well, and would have the added benefit of using a larger wrench which would give you more leverage and be less likely to round off.

Everyone in the world has problems breaking them off and /or can't get them out when they need to be replaced. But then, we're talking about GreenOHawk.... if anything weird or paranormal will ever happen to a bike, it'll be his.
