Hey guys, everything worked out for ol BB. Good thing is, he and his wife patched things up also. Saw them out together today.

RE: Oil plug stuck.
YOU GUYS REALIZE THAT OLD BB IS A LEGEND.
THIS WOULD MAKE A KILLER MOVIE OF BB AND THE NIEGHBOR WORKING ON A HARLEY THAT GOES TO THE DEALERSHIP.
KEEP IN MIND THE JB WELD WOULD HAVE TO SPONSOR THE MOVIE.
HERE IS A QUOTE FROM THE JB WELD SITE. I THINK THIS IS WHERE THE NEIGHBOR THOUGHT IT WORKS ON BIKES.
"My motorcycle had a gas tank leak. The dealer said it couldn't be fixed, and I'd have to get a new tank. A hardware store told me about J-B WELD -- and it did the trick! For a $4 investment, I saved $325. J-B WELD is not a gimmick product -- it is one that works!"
"My pickup threw a rod and tore a hole in the block. I plugged the hole with large washers bolted together and sealed it with J-B WELD. That was over 50,000 miles ago; still with no loss of oil. Thanks for a remarkable product!"
J-B WELD saved our fishing trip. Our trailer had punched two holes through the hull of our boat. No welder was available, and we were about to go home when a mechanic gave us some J-B WELD. It completely cured the problem -- not one leak in 12 days!"

RE: Oil plug stuck.
Us city slickers call this a Smitty-Built F#$K up. Here is an old Moped Riders Association trick that I use when I find myself in a similar situation. Take the bike to the dealer and tell them you want an oil change. Don't mention that you JB welded the drain plug in. That way when the dealer strips out the head or threads or cracks the case you can blame them for something that you really screwed up. This technique has worked great for our riding group of hillbilly engineers in the past.

RE: Oil plug stuck.
Dand bro, I feel so bad for ya.
I had just finished work on a cancer society theme bike that my wife and i wanted to build, when my friend Bryan wanted my help in port matching his 2003 heritage. I pulled off the heads so that I could dremel the ports out, and I found out that someone used a pepsi can to make head gaskets.
And they were leaking.
I'm just about done doing the port matching, and i plan to install a custom exhaust i built from the two cars I parted out last summer. Then I will ship the bike back to Jasper Georgia.
I do professional port work if any of you need it.
