So the sportsers back together now! But yet another problem. Today i left it on while working on it. So now my bikes dead. I bought this thing. Jump started it and rode it for 5 minutes or less maybe. Turned it off, tried starting it up again a lil after but no start up. I jad to go to work so i couldnt deal w it. The sporsters batthery is 12v right? And will this be ok to use on it? I dont want to mess it up or make things worse...even though ive used it once already lol

So i have another problem! Im trying to reinstall the pipes. The pipe bracket clamp will not fit from the sprocket guard entension to the pipe. I cant get the damn thing to fit. The pipe is to far away from the sprocket cover

On a more positive note, bolt removed!! This medal bracket im touching was easily removable. I removed that and more of the broken bolt was accesible. So w a simple twist w a plyers i was able to remove it no problem! Just one more question. Should i put thread lock, medium blue in the fasteners that connect the pipes, flange to the head?

So the one on tge left is the broken bolt. The one in the middle is the one harley davidson gave me but its 2 inches...a quarter to long. The one on the right is the right length, 1 3/4. But my only concern is its not threaded all the way. Idk if itll fit properly. Only way to find out is to get that broken off bolt out first!

Any tips on how to remove that broken off piece out of the frame? And where do i get another allen 3/16 bolt to replace it? Any one know the length? I just put the cover on for now. I havent even put the pipes back on. For i only got 1 exhaust gasket. Thinking i will be able to remove just one but they are joined together so i had to remove both pipes.grr its been a hard day for such a simple job. Im really bumbed about my damn foul up!

Sooo i made a big mistake! When tightening the 3/16 allen bolt on the lower bottom of the sprocket cover belt guard it broke off!! I was using my torque wrench to get the specs right. I never heard it click! Instead it snapped off. Leaving the bolt stuck in the frame! W a little bit showing.

And this T50 star hex bit star wrench fits perfectly in the master cylinder fastners that are tightened to the master cylinder support bracket and into the frame.

I was lost all day trying to find the right tools. A guy at an oreilys explained to me that now a days bikes or vehicles are either metric or standar. Standard being in fraction and metric in mm. So in the pic on the left i have a 5/15 allen hex bolt in it. It pretty good in there. I tried a T50 hex nut bolt and its snug snug in there. Like i have to apply pressure to get it in and to take it out i have to tug!. BUT the allend wrench on the right in the pic is a 3/16 and it seems to fit good

So im in the process of getting tools to install some passenger footpegs on my sportster 72. Which means i have to remove the pipe, belt guard cover, and rear break master cylinder. I ordered the service manual for torque specs but it does not list the tool sizes i need to remove the parts.
