removing the downpipes

[ghostbiker]

I had something along these lines  many years ago. the mounts had russted compleatly through on a RF900. useing a rubber mallet on the headers and tapping them in and from each side for about an hour eventualy released them all (used a lot of pen fluid to but i dont think that in iteslef had any effect) and although the studs were worse than yours (4 of them had also rusted compleatly through) they cam out fairly easy.
that said i didnt take the studs out. that was done by a friend with a welder.


Hope you have the same luck, fingers crossed
